  • Canadian Lawyer Shortlisted for International Court's Top Job October 26, 2011
    Canadian lawyer shortlisted for international court's top job October 26, 2011 Robert Petit, the Canadian Justice Department's top specialist on war crimes, has been shortlisted as one of four candidates to replace Luis Moreno-Ocampo as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court — the top war-crimes tribunal. During his 22-year career, Petit has specialized in international criminal law and criminal prosecution. He has worked for the past decade at the Justice Canada in the crimes against humanity and war crimes section. There, he provides legal advice to RCMP and police teams investigating persons currently in Canada, suspected of having committed violations of international humanitarian law and international criminal law in various countries. From 1996 to 1999, he worked for the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, supervising investigations, indictments and prosecutions of numerous perpetrators of crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. Petit has held various positions at the UN, prosecuting cases from Kosovo to Sierra Leone, Cambodia and East Timor, according to his LinkedIn online biography. He received his law degree from the Universite de Montreal. He is one of four candidates for the international court's top job — and not necessarily the most likely to receive it. The list also includes Fatou Bensouda, a Gambian and current deputy prosecutor at the court, who is considered one of the favourites for the post, according to diplomats. It also includes Mohamed Chande Othman, chief justice of Tanzania, and Britains' Andrew Cayley, co-prosecutor in the Cambodian special court handling Khmer Rouge trials. The list was released this week by the Assembly of States Parties which oversees the international court.

PAUL CLEMENT AND THE STATE OF CONSERVATIVE LEGAL THOUGHT SAM SINGERt ABSTRACT If 2011 is remembered as the year the states stood up to the Obama Administration and its bold vision of federal power, Paul Clement will be remembered as the lawyer they chose to make their case to the Supreme Court. In addition to the healthcare challenge, Clement appeared on be- half of Arizona in defense of the State's sweeping new immigration law and helped Texas defend its new electoral map against interference from the federal courts. Along the way, he became the go-to lawyer for the "states' rights" cause-a "shadow Solicitor General" leading the states in their push to reclaim power from the federal government. This Essay reconciles the perception of Paul Clement as a champion of states' rights with his less-visible work on behalf of the business community-work that, because of the pro-federal slant of the business agenda, often puts him at odds with the states' rights movement.

  • November 2009 Update
    Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia November 2009 Update Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) is a regular report issued by the Open Society Justice Initiative examining progress, priorities, and challenges at the ECCC. Other Justice Initiative reports and publications on the ECCC can be found at http://www.justiceinitiative.org/activities/ij/krt. Copyright © 2009 by the Open Society Institute. All rights reserved. 1 Executive Summary The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has achieved considerable progress, including recently completing the evidence phase of its first trial. This accomplishment is marred, however, by the little progress the court and its stakeholders have made in addressing fundamental concerns about corruption allegations and political interference at the ECCC. During the period covered by this report (September-November 2009), no substantial action was taken to develop or implement the anticorruption mechanism that was outlined in an August 2009 agreement between the United Nations (UN) and the government of Cambodia. Concerns about political interference in the court’s work have been heightened by several recent events, including: the refusal of the Cambodian investigating judge to participate in summoning for questioning witnesses who hold a high rank in the Cambodian government, statements by key government officials that it was not necessary for the officials to comply with the summonses, and indications that the government will not allow the court to pursue the investigation of five additional suspects. Further, although the UN submitted names of nominees for a new international prosecutor—to be appointed before the departing international prosecutor left that post on September 1, 2009—the government of Cambodia has failed to make the appointment.

Cases 003 and 004 at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal: The Definition of “Most Responsible” Individuals According to International Criminal Law Randle C. DeFalco Legal Advisor to The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) Abstract: The commission of genocide and other large-scale international crimes typically involves a multitude of perpetrators acting in concert. As such, the pursuit of individual criminal accountability following the perpetration of mass crimes has involved oft-controversial decisions of whom to prosecute. This challenge is exemplified by the ongoing controversy in Cambodia concerning the proper scope of prosecutions at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975-1979, as the Court’s third and fourth cases have languished amidst considerable controversy for years.
