Multi-Layered Civil Society Documentation of Human Rights Violations in Myanmar
Serious human rights violations, particularly against ethnic minorities, have been a stark reality in Myanmar for many decades.

During these decades of violence and ongoing violations, civil society initiativ…
Using Strategic Litigation and Universal Jurisdiction to Advance Accountability for Serious International Crimes
∞ This article addresses what the increased role of strategic litigation and universal jurisdiction for serious international crimes in domestic courts means for international criminal justice by exploring the opportunities and risks as well as implications for the field.

Traditionally, however, victims have not always featured prominently in international criminal trials. In response to this perceived oversight, victims have been provided broad rights at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) and the Intern…
