The genocide question before the International Court of Justice
This joint event is convened by the International Studies Association and the BISA International Law and Politics Working Group
The ICJ first addressed the issue of genocide in an Advisory Opinion in 1951 and revisited it in a series of contentious cases beginning with the Bosnia Herzegovina v. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia case in 1993. This webinar will critically examine the evolving jurisprudence of the ICJ in this issue area. More specifically, participants will analyse the subjective and objective elements of the crime of genocide, evaluate the state parties' arguments in key contentious cases, discuss the relationship between the ICJ and the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals, and consider the implications of these developments for the pursuit of international justice.
