Providing justice and reconciliation: The criminal tribunals for Sierra Leone and Cambodia

Article Abstract:

The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) and the Extraordinary Chambers for Cambodia (ECC) are different from the model established by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and are often referred to as mixed or hybrid tribunals with significant domestic and international components. A study examines whether these mixed tribunals are a more effective mechanism for providing justice and reconciliation than purely international solutions.
