DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel organized by the Centre for Human Rights an
 d Legal Pluralism (CHLRP)\, with Professor of International Law William Sc
 habas (Middlesex University London)\, visiting scholar Nidal Jurdi (Americ
 an University of Beirut)\, and Professor Frédéric Mégret (91˿����Ƶ Law). Pro
 fesssor François Crépeau\, director of the CHRLP\, will moderate.\n\n2017 
 has been a pivotal year for international criminal justice. It marks the 7
 2nd anniversary of the establishment of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals\,
  the 71st anniversary of the establishment of military tribunals in the Fa
 r East\, a special year for the United Nations ad hoc tribunals in the for
 mer Yugoslavia and Rwanda both of which are in a gradual completion of the
 ir respective mandates and without forgetting the anniversary of the entry
  into force of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.\n\n15
  years after the establishment of this judicial institution as a permanent
  body with a universal vocation operating under the new premise of complem
 entarity to national juridictions\, this tribunal is now at a crossroads: 
 high-level state officials accused for having committed grave crimes conti
 nue to travel around the world\, key witnesses are assissinated\, charges 
 have been dropped by the office of the prosecutor itself\, preliminary exa
 minations stagnate whenever the most powerful are concerned. In Syria\, as
  well as in every situation where nationals of the permanent members of th
 e Security Council or their allies are concerned\, it is a total inactivit
 y. Even where the judicial system seems to be moving forward\, the immunit
 ies of heads of state on the one hand and\, most seriously\, immunities fo
 r heads of non-state parties on the other hand\, have come to poison the p
 rocedure. On the African side\, some states start slamming the door of the
  Court while building a relatively parallel system at a regional level.\n
 \nIn light of all these challenges in the institutionalization of the univ
 ersality of international justice\, seven decades after the Nuremberg and 
 Tokyo Tribunals\, more than two decades after the creation of ad hoc tribu
 nals and in view of all the challenges faced by the ICC in only 15 years o
 f operation\, this conference will bring together different perspectives o
 n the timely theme of “Is the world ready for global justice?”\n
