This seminar will give an overview of the main dimensions for measuring the effectiveness of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia both within the former Yugoslavia and beyond it.

Consideration will be given to its legitimacy, the quality of justice in individual cases and its contribution to deterrence, the promotion of peace and reconciliation and the strengthening and development of the norms and institutions of international humanitarian law.

A massive evaluation of this nature, however incomplete, is necessary and despite the serious criticisms that can be made there is a good case for saying that in key respects the Tribunal has had a beneficial impact.

This event is free and open to all, please just come along on the day.
