Extract

As you can see, I'm a veteran in the field of international criminal justice, having served on all these courts. I came to The Hague in the year 2000 for the Arrest Warrant case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and looking back at that period, it feels like these were the halcyon years of international criminal justice. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was up to speed, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). The International Criminal Court (ICC) had been created. The Rome Statute was brand new. States were exercising universal jurisdiction. In the United Kingdom, we had the Pinochet case. So everything seemed to go in a very much forward, positive direction.
