Occasional Paper

Towards Global Justice in the 21st Century?

“The aim of this paper is to highlight the broader significance of these developments, with specific focus on the impetus given to the creation of three further specialised criminal tribunals to prosecute those who allegedly violated international humanitarian law in Sierra Leone, Cambodia and East Timor. However, there are still some significant obstacles in the path of these proposed tribunals, which are briefly discussed below before making some concluding comments on the perceived move towards global justice.”
