Dead Men Walking: Conversations on Global Norms and Institutions – Détails, épisodes et analyse

IFIT and JusticeInfo.net proudly present...

In this first episode, we turn our attention to the International Criminal Court (ICC), one of the most embattled international institutions of our time.

Is the ICC a bold but overextended experiment that was doomed from the start? A flawed but resilient institution finding its footing? Or a court caught in an impossible bind?

To help us think through these questions, IFIT expert and peace mediator Barney Afako sits down with three leading experts in international justice from IFIT’s global network: Beth Van Schaack, former US Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice; Janet Anderson, a veteran journalist who has covered international justice from Rwanda to Sierra Leone to The Hague; and Phil Clark, professor of international politics at SOAS University of London. Together they take a hard look at the ICC: its promise, its failures, and whether it can survive a world where the rules are being torn up in real time.

“Dead Men Walking”: Conversations on Global Norms and Institutions is a new podcast series produced by the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) in collaboration with JusticeInfo.net. In each episode, we bring together leading thinkers and practitioners from IFIT’s global expert network to take an honest look at the institutions and norms that have underpinned the world order and to explore what needs to come next.

In this second episode of our new podcast, "Dead Men Walking", we turn our attention to international law.

Has respect for international law reached a breaking point? Has the gap between the “law in books” and the “law in action” become too wide? Or is international law more stable and resilient than its critics want to believe?

To help us think through these questions, IFIT Executive Director Mark Freeman sits down with three outstanding experts from IFIT's global network: Sarah Nouwen, Professor of Public International Law at the European University Institute; Shaharzad Akbar, prominent Afghan human rights defender and Executive Director of Rawadari; and Thierry Cruvellier, Editor-in-Chief of Justice Info, the world's leading news website on international justice.
