March 1, 2023 | The Georgetown Americas Institute welcomed Luis Moreno Ocampo to talk about his book War and Justice in the 21st Century: A Case Study on the International Criminal Court (2022), which presents the inside story of the International Criminal Court (ICC) from the unique perspective of its first chief prosecutor. In the book, he argues that the War on Terror expanded support for international terrorism, rather than deterred it, and that it is a failure by design. The legal architecture created in the eighteenth cen­tury and adjusted by the UN Charter in 1945 is not equipped to deal effi­ciently with transnational problems like genocide or international terrorism. Two legal models challenging the traditional concept of national sovereignty were developed to face those crimes at the beginning of the twenty- first cen­tury: the Rome Statute system, including the International Criminal Court (ICC); and the War on Terror policy. But they were not integrated. In this conversation with Professor Julie O’Sullivan, Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor at Georgetown Law, Moreno Ocampo presented his book’s interdisciplinary analysis of a fragmented international legal system's operation and the relationships between legal and political decisions.

This event was co-sponsored by the Georgetown Americas Institute in collaboration with the Embassy of Argentina.
