On Wednesday, March 7th, Jean Degli will bookend the mini-series by speaking to his experience as the former defense counsel at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). He will discuss: "The Equality of Arms: Genocide Trials Before the ICTR." The principle of the equality of arms is classified as a sub-principle of fairness, whereby the accuser and the accused must be treated equally before the law.

On Wednesday, February 28th, Jon Tracy, former JAG officer who adjudicated Iraqi claims made against U.S. forces, inaugurated our new LLM Mini-Courses on Radical Human Rights Reform. He discussed: "Blood Money or Justice? Compensating War Victims." The most tragic aspect of armed conflict is the toll taken on civilian populations. Since the start of the 20th Century the proportion of civilians killed compared to members of an armed force has grown exponentially. The question is, 'Do victims have a right to fair compensation?'
