After recalling the general features and structure of the ECCC proceedings at the pre-trial stage, the authors critically assess how the inquisitorial imprint …

He then shows a number of perplexing issues in the Court’s case law on non-comp…

The Surrender of Ntakirutimana Revisited
The surrender of Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, suspected of having committed genocide, to the Rwanda Tribunal has again been the object of litigation in the US.
