which is to take place on Tuesday, 5 May 2009 at 11.30

Prof. Dr. Robert J. Donia is President of the Council of the International Institute for Middle-East and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) in Ljubljana. He is a Research Associate at the Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Michigan, and a Visiting Professor at the University of California in San Diego. He is the author of numerous books, articles and reviews in scientific magazines dealing with the former Yugoslavia. He is also the counsellor of the The Hague War Crimes Tribunal.
Summary of the lecture:
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia is serving as a precedent and the dominant model for other ad-hoc tribunals and for the International Criminal Court. Have international law and the ICTY contributed in any way to the global quest for security and peace? Donia proposes a standard by which to judge the laws and the court and offers an assessment of their utility in the 21st century.
