International Criminal Law: Challenging the International Criminal Law Paradigm
Professors Maria Aksenova (IE University in Madrid) and Kerstin Carlson (University of Southern Denmark) will talk about their latest work challenging current models of international criminal justice
Marina Aksenova will focus on a general framework for thinking about art and international criminal justice. As international (criminal) justice searches for new methodologies and instruments of inquiry, aesthetic experience proves to be a lens through which it is possible to deepen our understanding of international (criminal) justice as a specific social practice in its dynamic form. Aksenova will demonstrate that art is implicit in the rhetoric of international courts, their architectural design, and their commemorative practices expressed by symbolic reparations and outreach activities.
Kerstin Carlson will present her book Model(ing) Justice: Perfecting the Promise of International Criminal Law (Cambridge University Press 2018). Focusing on the ICTY and its impact in the former Yugoslavia, Model(ing) Justice traces the evolution of international criminal doctrine across the three functions deemed essential to achieving transitional justice for post-conflict states: progressive law; historical record; and reconciliatory narratives. Carlson will show how the push to create progressive law outcomes turns the legal processes themselves illiberal, which in turn impacts the capacity for international criminal courts to establish historical fact or societal reconciliation.
Marina Aksenova is professor of international and comparative criminal law at IE University in Madrid and director of Art and International Justice Initiative (ARTIJ). She defended her PhD in law at the EUI in 2014 and has experience working with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and White and Case LLC.
Kerstin Carlson is Associate Professor in the law department of the University of Southern Denmark, where she teaches in the Masters of International Security and Law (MOISL) program. She has two books on international criminal law forthcoming, The President on Trial: Prosecuting Chad's Hisséne Habre in Senegal (OUP 2020) and The Justice Laboratory (Chatham House 2020).
