搁茅蝉耻尘茅
(En anglais seulement) The creation of an international criminal tribunal at Nuremberg after WWII, considered the first of its kind, is widely regarded as the 鈥榖irth鈥� of International Criminal Law (ICL). Dr. Bohrer will challenge this consensus with examples of similar tribunals in every century since late-medieval times. These tribunals are shown to be doctrinally related (to each other, as well as to contemporary ICL), since war crimes have been regarded as universal wrongs for centuries. He will reveal that ICL is not a post-WWII innovation, but rather has a long past, and discusses the central causes of the pretermission of this history. He will conclude with a consideration of the contemporary significance of ICL鈥檚 neglected past.
