The 8th Hague Joint Conference honored the centennial anniversary
of The 1907 Hague Conference, which launched the modern era of
international humanitarian law. The provisions adopted at the 1907
Hague Conference formed the basis for, amongst other things, the
later promulgation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Moreover, the
so-called "Martens Clause" in the 1907 Hague Convention IV served
as a foundation for the concept of crimes against humanity. Held
from 28-30 June 2007, the 8th Hague Joint Conference was attended
by an interesting mix of established experts and international
institutional 'insiders' as well as promising newcomers,
practitioners and academics, which resulted in lively debate. Most
of the participating speakers' contributions are included in this
book. The Conference consisted of a series of key note addresses
and panels focusing on salient issues in international humanitarian
law and criminal jurisdiction. The topics include the battle
against impunity, the head of State immunity for former leaders and
lessons learned from the trials of Slobodan Milosevic, Charles
Taylor, and Saddam Hussein; the need for a comprehensive
anti-terrorism convention and the judicial review of
internationally-enacted anti-terror measures; the defining,
suppressing and trying of genocide; the issues of truth
commissions, accountability and the International Criminal Court,
as well as the future of the International Criminal Court;
corporate liability for human rights crimes; international
humanitarian intervention in the post-9/11 era; the plundering of
natural resources and destruction of the environment in times of
armed conflict, and, finally, ways of dealing with present-day
conduct of hostilities. The 8th Hague Joint Conference, entitled
Criminal Jurisdiction 100 Years after the 1907 Hague Peace
Conference, was organized by the Foundation "The Hague Joint
Conferences on International Law" in which the American Society of
International Law, the Netherlands Society of International Law and
the T.M.C. Asser Instituut participate. The editors of the present
book acted as academic co-chairs of the Conference.
