Professionals and Professionalism(s) in International Criminal Justice
To reflect on the theme of professionals and professionalism(s) covered within the articles in this symposium, on 14 February 2025, the guest editors and the Journal of International Criminal Justice convened an online roundtable discussion with four international criminal law practitioners with varied backgrounds and diverse experience.1 The aim of the discussion was to explore the evolving professional landscape and to consider how professional…
Strategies for Prosecuting Mass Starvation
Every instance of famine or acute food insecurity today is, at its core, man-made, and the current scale of consequential suffering and death is unprecedented in modern history. Deliberate starvation is a crime under international law, including under Article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Rome Statute. Notwithstanding, there has been a dearth of prosecutions of those suspected of committing the crime or engaging in any of the underlying conduct. The reason…
Failure to Carry the Burden of Proof
This article contends that a flawed interpretation of joint criminal enterprise (JCE) embraced by the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) has set a dangerous precedent for international criminal adjudication. Breaking from a trend towards more careful application of the liability doctrine at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), a series of JCE decisions from the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council , Revolutionary…

The article assesses whether or not the provision for trials at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) to be held in absentia , in Article 22 of that Tribunal’s Statute, is consistent with international human rights law binding on Lebanon. It is contended that unless there is an unfettered right to a retrial at the defendant’s option, holding a trial in absentia violates internationally recognized minimum standards of fairness except in circumsta…
Due Process and Fair Trial Rights at the Special Court
It was recognized that it was critical to the process of national reconciliation and the maintenance of peace in Sierra Leone that the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) be a strong and credible court operating in accordance with international standards of justice, fairness, and due process of law. This article assesses the fulfilment of this mandate through an examination of the fairness of the RUF trial as illustrated through two issues: the…
The Practice of ‘Witness Proofing’ in International Criminal Tribunals
Witness proofing – or witness preparation – has been common practice at the ad hoc criminal tribunals but was prohibited in the first trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC) (the Lubanga case). The ad hocs have robustly defended the practice, claiming that it assists the efficient presentation of evidence and enhances the truth-finding process. This article examines the way in which the ad hocs have allowed the process to become an in…
