courts do we have? does the u.n. do it? how? there is no international criminal court at that point. and then bosnia 1990, same kind of problems. so what do we do? the u.n. sets up two special tribunals, ok. one for rwanda, one for former yugoslavia, and they start developing rules. at that point they are asking questions, what kind of rules should we have? what kind of evidence roles -- evidence rules should we have? and they start going back. there is this mythology, and the mythology is that tokyo was unfair. nuremberg was fair. by tokyo i mean the minor trials , and the minor trials in germany as well. and they have this general thought, they don't go so far as to actually take into the evidence rule. they just develop their own and do it basically on a continental practice, what you do in civil law courts. that becomes the rules of the international criminal court because the united states is never in the game, even though we worked on developing the the court, we do not join that treaty, ok. there is some writing going on by the people who are developing the rules, and they say

is the evidence that we are able to use all the way from local to national to sometimes the international courts, because, y know, justice delayed is justice denied.

in the international scrutiny international court of human rights court so we are concerned about the tensions we are concerned about. lengthy imprisonments o'keeffe of. people who just think sizing their rights for months on end we are concerned about smear campaigns threats and intimidation of activists human rights activists but also people with you know different views different opinions that may not be liked by the authorities who have real concerns about in the sun said so you have a clear range of concerns how does the government respond when you raise these issues with them. reveal sorties i've been saying that for instance no journo this is imprisoned for their journalistic work the jury and case you refer to is an interesting example over the course of the last several months trial court has heard alleged changes to oriel line up to newspaper quotes from articles written by journal of this in not use paper as. supposedly evidence of their support for. terrorist organizations they don't these things do not constitute material evidence of criminal acts just not the case so the
