The system rests on the cooperation of states with the ICTs. However, this cooperation when it exists, often ceases when the trial has ended. Regarding the objective of delivering justice, states appear to have either forgotten or refused to accept that both acquittals and the eventual release of convicted individuals are part of the process of criminal justice. Even states committed to international justice have denied protection against extradition to unsafe countries for acquitted and released persons, or declined to become host countries, grant asylum requests or take any steps to offer these former defendants and convicted persons a dignified life. This article explores the international legal frameworks applicable to the relocation of persons released or acquitted by ICTs. It specifically looks into the cases of the ad hoc tribunals and the International Criminal Court (ICC), the states parties’ general obligation under the statutes and rules to cooperate with the ICTs, and relevant principles of refugee law. The article explores some of the most recent issues relating to relocation that have shaken international criminal justice. At the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the recent striking failure to obtain the relocation of nine acquitted and released persons is examined as an emblematic and appalling example of the violation of these persons’ fundamental human rights, and the refusal of the international community to pursue justice in all its aspects. At the ICC, important issues of relocation have already arisen for acquitted and released persons, and the Court will urgently need agreements in this area. Importantly, it is necessary to recognize that, to protect the rights of these former defendants, the practical work of defence lawyers continues long after their clients’ release.","PeriodicalId":46732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Criminal Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44318100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, terminally ill prisoners seeking release in the international criminal justice system face significant legal and practical obstacles. This is particularly the case for prisoners convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC): there is currently no framework for granting compassionate release prior to serving the statutory required amount of a sentence. To build a foundation for recommendations for the creation of a system of compassionate release at the ICC, this article critically examines the systems used to grant early release to terminally ill persons in international (International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals) and national criminal law, with a particular focus on how these systems operate for prisoners that have served less than the typical eligibility requirement for release. This article sets out a normative basis for creating a novel and distinct form of release at the ICC: a compassionate system based, not on penological justifications, but on the impossibility of continued detention on human rights grounds. It concludes with recommendations for essential substantial and procedural elements for this system and means of incorporating it into the current legal framework.","PeriodicalId":46732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Criminal Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43616831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though in post-conflict environments, the public behaviour of perpetrators can help counter (atrocity crime) denial, establish an authoritative version of the truth and contribute to sustainable reconciliation, we still know little about what happens once they return to their communities. This article is one of the first attempts to systematically map and understand what pathways the ICTY convicts take after release, and why. It finds that those who promote nationalist interpretations of the past and deny their responsibility and involvement in crimes are often hailed by receptive domestic audiences across the Western Balkans. They successfully use certain support networks, such as dominant political parties or military and war veterans’ organizations, to take back their place in public life. On the other hand, those convicts who have admitted their guilt and responsibility and do not promote a nationalist interpretation of the past often find themselves ostracized, living in poverty and seclusion.","PeriodicalId":46732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Criminal Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42185200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on a convenience sample of early release decisions issued by the Croatian judiciary and the most recent early release decisions issued by the IRMCT. Up until very recently, rehabilitation of war criminals has been approached through a rather conventional prism, both at the ICTY/IRMCT and domestically. The most recent IRMCT early release decisions, however, developed a sui generis approach focusing primarily on an offender’s critical reflection on crimes, gravity of the offence and views of the larger community. At the same time, the Croatian approach to assessing rehabilitation remained centred around the perceived risk of reoffending. Due to inconsistencies in incorporating the various factors, however, there seems to be double standards being applied along ethnic lines. In this article, we analyse and contrast rehabilitation assessments and early release practices at the ICTY/IRCMT and Croatia and ask the proverbial question whether there is anything special about rehabilitating war criminals.","PeriodicalId":46732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Criminal Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47642587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Does the mud stick? Or can the dirt also turn into gold, after legal exoneration and possible compensation? This article seeks to trigger a conversation on the international justice community’s stance on condemnation, compensation and convalescence. Through several versatile histories and stories, it gauges how exonerated persons have been navigating life after acquittal. To what extent have they managed to reverse, or recover from, their previous scandalizations, and if so: how? In thinking about this question, we problematize international justice community protagonists and prosecution services’ modus operandi (and effects) of scandalizing first and prosecuting alleged atrocitaires later. We observe that under the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s current circumstances (operating like a cage in search of birds) more suspects have been scandalized than convicted, but that often the scandal lingers. We conclude that for most acquitted persons requesting post-trial compensation is a dead end, and that doing so for some might further increase reputational damage. While several acquitted people ultimately remained defamed, some exonerated persons fully recovered from the human rights scandal by redefining compensation, and by turning the table and scandalizing the ICC.","PeriodicalId":46732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Criminal Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42923748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
