Abstract: | The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) and the Extraordinary Chambers for Cambodia (ECC) represent a departure from the
model established by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yygoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda (ICTR). The SCSL and the ECC have often been referred to as “mixed” or “hybrid” tribunals in which there are significant
domestic and international components. The tribunals include a combination of domestic and international judges, utilize domestic
and international laws and are administered by a prosecutorial team composed of domestic and international lawyers. Many of
these institutional changes have been brought about because of criticisms of the ICTY and the ICTR. The fundamental question
of this article is whether these mixed tribunals are a more effective mechanism for providing justice and reconciliation than
purely international solutions. This is an important question because both the international community and states are moving
in the direction of mixed tribunals. |
