Till the Rules of Procedure and Evidence Do Us Part: Should Deceased Persons Be Admitted as Victims before the ICC
Can convicted persons at the ICC get away with murder? In the context of victim representation for participation and reparations, this has already happened. For many years, ICC case law ruled that victims who died before applying for participation and reparations could not be represented posthumously, rendering deceased persons practically invisible in that dimension of proceedings. However, a minority opinion arguing that the views, concerns, an…

Implementing Reparations in the Al Mahdi Case
The city of Timbuktu evokes remoteness and, since 2012, chaos and destruction. During an armed conflict in the north of Mali, radicals took over the city and destroyed several of its mausoleums. One of the perpetrators, Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, was convicted at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his participation in the destruction of 10 religious and historic buildings. The unprecedented nature of the Al Mahdi case led to an equally unpre…

Cultural heritage that heals: Factoring in cultural heritage discourses in the Syrian peacebuilding process
Transitional justice is considered a building block of peacebuilding in post-conflict scenarios. Processes may include criminal justice mechanisms, reparation programmes, truth-seeking bodies and institutional reforms which seek to provide redress for victims of human rights atrocities. However, it is now widely acknowledged that the destruction of cultural heritage plays a significant role in and of itself in modern conflicts, affecting entire s…
