The Milošević Trial: An Autopsy

By Greg McNeal On February 18, 2010

Tim Waters at IU Bloomington has arranged a fantastic conference beginning tomorrow and running through Sunday. The conference will ultimately result in a book, and given the participants and topics it will likely be required reading for students, scholars and practitioners. Here are the topics:

determining the proper role of historical truth-telling in war crimes trials;

measuring the impact of trials in affected communities;

refining prosecutorial and judicial strategy in designing war crimes trials;

devising case management and institutional design lessons for complex leadership trials;

regulating access to trial archives by historians, victim communities and other courts;

and considering the relationship between formal, legal processes and broader post-conflict transitional justice initiatives.
