In Defense of Hybridity: Towards a Representational Theory of International Criminal Justice

In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author proposes a critical & normative representational theory of what international criminals should be tried by in a hybrid tribunal framework that surpasses complementarity & primacy, & mitigates the lack of dimension in purely international or domestic trials. A discussion of universality issues regarding sovereignty & complementarity, & the complications of ownership in international crimes supports the assertion that the hybrid nature of the theory as a representation of crimes & acknowledgement of the affected communities. Comparative analysis between complementarity & hybridity are applied to the cases of Milosevic & Hussein to support the argument that, if the goals of international criminal justice are to give the best representation possible, a hybrid of international & domestic trials must be applied to the two trials.

In Defense of Hybridity: Towards a Representational Theory of International Criminal Justice

In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic \u26 Hussein on Trial, the author proposes a critical \u26 normative representational theory of what international criminals should be tried by in a hybrid tribunal framework that surpasses complementarity \u26 primacy, \u26 mitigates the lack of dimension in purely international or domestic trials. A discussion of universality issues regarding sovereignty \u26 complementarity, \u26 the complications of ownership in international crimes supports the assertion that the hybrid nature of the theory as a representation of crimes \u26 acknowledgement of the affected communities. Comparative analysis between complementarity \u26 hybridity are applied to the cases of Milosevic \u26 Hussein to support the argument that, if the goals of international criminal justice are to give the best representation possible, a hybrid of international \u26 domestic trials must be applied to the two trials.
