RIDP2018Vol89/issue2- International and Transitional Criminal Justice & Human Rights Essays
€ 40,00
A quarter-century ago, the ‘short twentieth century’ came to an end, marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. International criminal justice awakened from its post-Nuremberg hibernation. In the ensuing decades, a multitude of international criminal tribunals was established as well as unprecedented initiatives at the national and regional levels. This movement for justice and accountability transformed the protection of human rights.
Cherif Bassiouni was at the centre of this process from its beginning until his passing, in September 2017, and has been absolutely instrumental in its origins. From the beginning of his career, he brought oxygen to the embers of the post-Second World War initiatives. He linked them to more contemporary issues, such as the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the campaign for new standards and instruments to address issues such as torture. Through the International Institute for Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences, now renamed the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights, Cherif Bassiouni regularly assembled experts, practitioners, international officials and public intellectuals in the promotion of law and policy. He was also President of the International Association of Penal Law (IAPL-AIDP) for fifteen years.
In September 2018, colleagues and friends of Cherif Bassiouni assembled for a high-level academic conference in Siracusa, organised around themes central in his massive oeuvre: international and transitional criminal justice and human rights. The chapters in this humble volume provide a written record of the conference, in recognition, honour and memory of his legacy.
