I am interested in international criminal law and procedure, including topics touching on the normative and architectural aspects of local, hybrid and transnational tribunals. With my thesis, I plan to investigate the range of empirical circumstances giving rise to tribunals adjudicating international crimes, or related crimes, which are several decades old, such as those in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Senegal. What are the social, legal, and political factors giving rise to such institutions?  In light of those factors, and given the long temporal gap between crime commission and prosecution, what normative and policy considerations should be considered in applying, or not, statutory limitations? Should procedural fairness trump the fight against the culture of impunity when too much time has lapsed? If so, what underlies the procedural fairness calculus vis-à-vis the age of the case? To the extent the offenses charged are only quasi-international in nature (or are domestic crimes arising out of the same nucleus of operative facts as international crimes), should those offenses be treated differently? The 1968 Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity gives us some insights into these questions. But that treaty has been underexamined and its scope is limited. My thesis seeks to provide a global framework that can be consulted to analyze the more marginal cases and the non-core crimes.
