Noah Weisbord, "Outlawing War: Competing Human Rights Perspectives"

Wednesday, March 25, 2009
12:00 - 1:15 pm | Room 240

John Hope Franklin Center


Human rights organizations--including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International--are uncertain about where they stand on the issue of adding to the statute of the International Criminal Court the definition of the crime of aggression, whereby political and military leaders can be held accountable for waging illegal wars. Weisbord is a visiting Duke Law professor who clerked for Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Prior to that, he traveled to Rwanda to study gacaca--community-based genocide trials inspired by an indigenous justice tradition.

This event is part of the Franklin Humanities Institute "Wednesdays at the Center" series.
