REVISITING VICTIMS' PARTICIPATION AT THE ICC: Advocacy for an efficient restorative international criminal justice system

103pp., paperback, Glienicke, 2020

"This research submits that for the purposes of making victims' participation to the ICC proceedings more efficient, the victims' status could be raised to a status similar to that of partie civile common in civil law jurisdictions. However such status should be limited to victims who are ready to take the solemn oath and who accept to be cross-examined and who understand that should they give false evidence to the Court, they would become subject to criminal proceedings for attempt to subvert the Court's administration of justice."

Professor Gracieux Mbuzukongira teaches International Criminal Law. He has taught at various universities in the East African region and is a guest researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public and International Law in Heidelberg in Germany.
