  • THE AD HOC TRIBUNALS ORAL HISTORY PROJECT an Interview
    THE AD HOC TRIBUNALS ORAL HISTORY PROJECT An Interview with Benjamin B. Ferencz International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life Brandeis University 2015 RH Session One Interviewee: Benjamin B. Ferencz Location: Waltham, MA Interviewers: David P. Briand (Q1) and Date: 7 November 2014 Leigh Swigart (Q2) Q1: This is an interview with Benjamin B. Ferencz for the Ad Hoc Tribunals Oral History Project at Brandeis University’s International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life. The interview takes place at the Ethics Center offices in Waltham, Massachusetts on November 7, 2014. The interviewers are Leigh Swigart and David Briand. Ferencz: I hope I don't disappoint you, because I know very little about the temporary [United Nations] Security Council tribunals. I know a lot about the ICC [International Criminal Court], I know a lot about what the world needs, I know what we have to build on, so if my answers to your questions appear to be wandering off a bit it's because there is a message that I want to deliver. It's a message which is consistent, which I hope would be approved by Brandeis, certainly, and also by the members of the staff, and that is we're trying to get a more humane and peaceful world governed by the rule of law. This is my guiding star. I'm ninety-five years old. I'm going to start my ninety-sixth year in a few months. I'm happily wed to a girl also from Transylvania, who is also the same age—a little bit older.

  • Report of the Judges of the Court on Managing Transitions in the Judiciary
    30 January 2020 Report of the judges of the Court on Managing Transitions in the Judiciary I. Introduction 1. “Transitions”, for purposes of this memorandum, means the process of bringing the service of judges to a close upon the statutory end of their term; as the replacement judges commence their service. 2. A key challenge in the management of transitions in the judiciary is that posed by the end of mandate of one-third of the Court’s judges every three years. This necessitates proper management of the circumstances resulting in the continuation in office of a judge who remains at the Court to complete a trial or appeal in accordance with article 36(10) of the Rome Statute, even though her or his mandate has expired.1 To date, 10 judges have had extensions of mandate under this provision, the duration of which has ranged from several months2 to several years (i.e. between approximately 1.5 – 4 years).3 The present report focuses on this issue. It is an issue the current Presidency has taken up on its own to try and resolve – long before its resonance in aspects of the Draft Non-Paper produced by the Bureau of the ASP. By way of the latter, States Parties have identified the possible need to ‘[d]evelop and implement clear and firm procedures for managing transitions in the judiciary, such as the use of alternate judges, handover strategies etc’.4 1 Article 36(10) provides: ‘Notwithstanding paragraph 9, a judge assigned to a Trial or Appeals Chamber in accordance with article 39 shall continue in office to complete any trial or appeal the hearing of which has already commenced before that Chamber’.

Starr Students Norman Seeff's Archive Ben Ferencz / CBS NEWS It is not often you get the chance to meet a man who holds a place in history like Ben Ferencz. He's 97 years old, barely 5 feet tall, and he served as prosecutor of what's been called the biggest murder trial ever. The courtroom was Nuremberg; the crime, genocide; the defendants, a group of German SS officers accused of committing the largest number of Nazi killings outside the concentration camps -- more than a million men, women, and children shot down in their own towns and villages in cold blood.

  • From Nuremberg to Now: Benjamin Ferencz's
    “Are you going to help me save the world?” From Nuremberg to Now: Benjamin Ferencz’s Lifelong Stand for “Law. Not War.” Creed King and Kate Powell Senior Division Group Exhibit Student-composed Words: 493 Process Paper: 500 words Process Paper Who took a stand for the Jews after World War II? Pondering this compelling question, we stumbled upon the story of Benjamin Ferencz. As a young lawyer, Ferencz convinced fellow attorneys at the Nuremberg Trials to prosecute the Einsatzgruppen, Hitler’s roving extermination squads, in the “biggest murder trial of the century” (Tusa). Ferencz convicted all twenty-two defendants, then parlayed his Nuremberg experience into a lifelong stand for world peace through the application of law. Our discovery that Ferencz, at age ninety-seven, is the last living Nuremberg prosecutor – and living in our home state – led to a remarkable interview. We began by researching primary sources such as oral histories and evidence gathered after the war by the War Crimes Branch of the US Army and compared these to personal accounts archived by the Florida State University Institute on World War II. Reading memos and logbooks kept by the Nazis helped us understand the significance of Ferencz’s stand at Nuremberg. Ferencz’s papers provided interviews, photographs, and documents to corroborate historical data and underscore his lifelong advocacy for peace. For a firsthand perspective, we conducted several personal interviews. Talking with Ferencz about his transformation from prosecutor to modern activist for world peace and Zelda Fuksman on surviving the Holocaust and her perspective on the Nuremberg Trials were two crucial pieces of research.
