International Criminal Justice and Its Discontents
First, I've decided to try to write more frequently, perhaps even daily if possible, even if in many many cases the entries can only be a paragraph or two. Continuity helps to establish discipline I think.
In keeping therewith, today's entry is actually just a cross reference to Jurist. As my Qaddafi blog of a couple of weeks ago suggests, I've become a bit concerned about the future of international criminal law and its even prosecution. The Hariri indictments add to my discomfort. Again, the issue is not any sort of sympathy for any of the indicted, only concerns about ensuring some basic level of legitimacy to the pursuit of international criminal justice that I fear might at some point dissipate. Further thoughts here.
