IJCentral: International Justice Central

This is the first in a series of Vblogs that IJCentral is producing with renowned experts and young professionals in order to build a space for people to explain, question and critique contemporary issues in the field of International Justice.
In celebration of International Justice Day (July 17th), the Bar Association of the City of New York presented an evening on the International Criminal Court (ICC). Twelve years to the day since the signing of the Rome Statute, which led to the establishment of the ICC, students, lawyers and activists gathered to hear three distinguished experts (Patricia O’Brien, Christian Wenaweser, and David Tolbert) talk on the creation, and future, of the ICC.
IJCentral was there to talk to the audience, to hear about their concerns and hopes for the ICC, and gather their opinions on the state of International Justice in 2010. The issues raised included the ongoing plight of the Fur population in Sudan, how the ICC will increase its worldwide legitimacy and jurisdiction, and if the US will ever become a member of the Court.
