International Criminal Justice Today: Challenges and Prospects

Speaker: Ambassador Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, Judge at the International Criminal Court in The Hague

Are you interested in learning more about what the International Criminal Court in the Hague does? 

The World Affairs Council of Central Illinois is honored to host a visit by Ambassador Marc Perrin De Brichambaut. The Rome Statute supported by 123 States created the International Criminal Court  in 1998 as a permanent international tribunal  and gave it jurisdiction to prosecute and adjudicate on war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes of genocide committed on the territory of its participating states or by their nationals.

How has this institution been developing ?  What are its potential contributions and impact? How does the United States relate to it? Ambassador de Brichambaut will also discuss reports of and work related to atrocities in Ukraine and other locations. These and other questions deserve careful attention and serious debate.

Marc Perrin de Brichambaut, served in the Conseil D’État, France’s Supreme Court for judicial review and has had extensive diplomatic experience, both in his national service and in international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization for security and Cooperation in Europe.
