Al Hassan Symposium – Fair Trial Guarantees under the Law of Armed Conflict: How Can They Be Realistic for Armed Groups?

The following post by Raphaël van Steenberghe focuses on fair trial guarantees and examines the merits of the Trial Chamber’s judgment in this respect. It also explains how fair trial guarantees, which armed groups’ courts must afford, may be addressed in light of a general theoretical framework on the evolution of the regulation of armed conflicts through the impact of external branches of international law. The post was published on Armed Groups and International Law as part of the joint Articles of War and AGIL Al Hassan Symposium.
