  • Panel 6. the Evolving Defence Systems at the International Tribunals
    DEFDO-150305-1_U_EN PANEL 6. THE EVOLVING DEFENCE SYSTEMS AT THE INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS SPEECH BY FRANÇOIS ROUX, HEAD OF DEFENCE OFFICE AT THE SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON Allow me to begin my speech with a thought for the late Laity Kama: we are all aware of the exceptional contribution he made to this Tribunal in his role as President. His death came as a shock to us, the only equivalent being the shock we felt following the sudden death of another great President, the President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Antonio Cassese. I find it comforting to think that they are both together in Heaven, drafting the Last Judgment. I also include in my thoughts all those who have been associated with this Tribunal over the past twenty years and who have since died, with a special mention for the former President of the Kigali Bar, Jean Haguma, who was my co-Counsel in the case of Joseph Nzabirinda, in which we pleaded guilty. I also welcome the presence of my former and loyal investigator, Philippe Bimenymanya. For the old-timers here, if you remember, Philippe is the survivor, the miracle man who survived the accident involving a Kenya Airways aircraft which crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from Abidjan where Philippe was on assignment for the Bagilishema defence team. When the ICTR was first set up, the Defence did not exist as a separate institution, we were “managed” by the Registry. As President Mose said, the Defence was therefore not part of the Coordination Committee, for example, which was set up to rationalise proceedings, nor was it part of any other structure within the Tribunal.

  • Samantha Richards Mphil Thesis
    Lessons Learnt From Rwanda: The Need for Harmonisation of Penalties Between the ICC and its Member States Samantha Richards MPhil Thesis Student ID: 033365563 Submitted: 30 November 2014 Word count (excluding footnotes): 58,012 Abstract An examination of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its policy of complementarity in the context of the presumption, that for complementarity to be effective, the national courts will have to undertake the majority of the investigations and prosecutions of extraordinary crimes. This will then be discussed in terms of the current setup whereby national courts are permitted by Article 80 of the Rome Statute 1998, to apply their own penalties when conducting trials at the national level. The analysis serves to highlight that the current situation is not conducive to proportionate or consistent sentencing or penalties, as the death penalty may still be applied by national courts, whilst in accordance with human rights norms, the ICC only has custodial sentences available to its judges. In addition to this the discussion highlights that many national jurisdictions where the crimes take place are in need of capacity building so as to rebuild or to reinforce their legal systems to a level where they are able to seek justice for themselves. This leads into a discussion of the potential for outreach whereby the ICC may also be able to lead by example and take the opportunity to impart their sentencing objectives and procedural norms, in an attempt to facilitate consistent and proportionate justice at both the national and international level, so as to aid the fight to close the impunity gap.
