Genocide and Discrimination: Some lessons to be learnt from discrimination law?

  • M Ambrus (Speaker)

    Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentationAcademic

    Description

    A survey of the case-law of the ICTY and ICTR reveals inconsistencies and conceptual discrepancies in the approach to genocide cases, in particular with respect to the identification of the protected group and its members. A review model might help address these issues, which are, arguably, preconditions of the legitimacy of these courts. Given the close relationship between genocide and discrimination, this review model might be built on the ‘building blocks’ of discrimination law. The aim of this contribution is to set out the fundamentals of this model and to indicate the consequences of its consistent application.
