Stockholm Center for International Law and Justice invites you to a seminar with:
Professor Elies van Sliedregt
on the topic
Legal Pluralism and International Criminal Justice
With the establishment of the ICC and the closing down of the ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the paradigm of international criminal justice is shifting to national criminal justice. What does the enforcement of international criminal law by domestic courts mean for the system of international criminal justice in terms of its coherence as a legal order? Domestic enforcement comes with legal pluralism. Should we embrace it, accept it, or push against it and strive for unity?’
