A symposium hosted by Boston College Law School on March 24 addressed the challenges facing international criminal tribunals and human rights law. It featured three panels of speakers, including (from left) David Crane, former chief prosecutor in the Sierra Leone Special Court; Diane Orentlicher, professor of law at American University; and Aryeh Neier, president of the Open Society Institute. Entitled “Sharpening the Cutting Edge of International Human Rights Law: Unresolved Issues of War Crimes Tribunals” and attended by some 150 people, the symposium was sponsored by Boston College’s International & Comparative Law Review and the Center for Human Rights and International Justice, which was founded in 2004 and addresses the increasingly interdisciplinary needs of human rights work.
