Description
I. INTRODUCTION The intersection of the "Lessons from the Saddam Trial" symposium and experts meeting and the dedication of the 780 Commission Archives. (1) clearly highlighted a lesson learned from the first Saddam Hussein trial before the Iraqi High Tribunal (IHT), a lesson that will be useful for future internationalized and hybrid tribunals. The 780 Commission was established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 780 (1992) to investigate violations of international humanitarian law in the former Yugoslavia and played a valuable role in the prosecutions at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). (2) Courts that try the alleged perpetrators of the gravest atrocities known to man may not be independently capable of meeting the necessities of post-conflict justice. Commissions of inquiry, fact-finding missions, historical and truth commissions, and other variations of international independent investigations play a crucial role in assisting the trial process and post-conflict justice itself.
