Law; Law and Business Management

The fascinating world of International Criminal Law (ICL), and how those accused of mass atrocities test the legal system to breaking point. Individuals accused of serious crimes, such as genocide and war crimes, pose a particular challenge when it comes to holding individuals responsible for their actions. Despite the development of International Law, large-scale and serious crimes continue to occur, globally. This lecture will ask questions, such as: Do international trials act as a deterrent to others? How can we hold those responsible for these crimes accountable? Are the international tribunals worth the huge financial investment?

PLACES TO VISIT Winchester Cathedral has stood at the heart of the city for over 1,000 years and provides a focal point for religious worship, music and culture that has inspired generations. The city – which was King Alfred the Great’s capital of England – has proud links with writers Jane Austen and John Keats. It is home to the impressive Great Hall with its legendary Round Table, the world-renowned Winchester College and Chapel, and the English Heritage site Wolvesey Castle.

If you fancy going slightly further afield, Winchester is surrounded by beautiful countryside and market towns. It is close to the New Forest National Park, prehistoric Stonehenge and the Isle of Wight – home of music festivals and sailing events.
