Conference: The Pursuit of International Criminal Justice: The Case of Darfur

Tomorrow, Friday, February 6th, Yale Law School will host a conference on "The Pursuit of International Criminal Justice: The Case of Darfur." Here's the idea:
Policymakers, scholars, and civil society leaders will consider the role that international criminal prosecution should play in the strategy to end the violence in Darfur and in other massive conflicts. Dean Harold Hongju Koh will moderate discussions among attendees including the Legal Advisers to the U.S. State Department and the United Nations; the U.K. Special Representative for Sudan; the Ambassador of the League of Arab States to the U.S.; the former head of UN peacekeeping operations; and leading Darfur activists and experts. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, will deliver the keynote address.
