Accounts of international criminal courts have tended to consist of
reflections on abstract legal texts, on judgements and trial
transcripts. Genocide Never Sleeps, based on ethnographic research
at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), provides
an alternative account, describing a messy, flawed human process in
which legal practitioners faced with novel challenges sought to
reconfigure long-standing habits and opinions while maintaining a
commitment to 'justice'. From the challenges of simultaneous
translation to collaborating with colleagues from different legal
traditions, legal practitioners were forced to scrutinise that
which normally remains assumed in domestic law. By providing an
account of this process, Genocide Never Sleeps not only provides a
unique insight into the exceptional nature of the ad hoc,
improvised ICTR and the day-to-day practice of international
criminal justice, but also holds up for fresh inspection much that
is naturalised and assumed in unexceptional, domestic legal
processes.
