Kristen Cibelli and Tamy Guberek

Kristen Cibelli and Tamy Guberek travelled to the Hague in Brussels over spring break to conduct research on the relationship between the International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and human rights groups. At the Tribunal, they witnessed three trials and met with several people, including Chief Prosecutor Louise Arbour. They have continued their research since and are now focusing on the role of international justice in the post-conflict societies of the former Yugoslavia. They presented some of their research at a panel held after the Symposium, entitled "War Crimes and Accountability: From Nuremberg to the International Criminal Court", and they plan to travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina in August of this year.
