Abstract

The contribution of Commonwealth law to the jurisprudence of the international criminal tribunals has been substantial. The operation of the tribunals has been notably influenced by concepts underpinning the legal system itself.

Additionally, each judge brings to the tribunal experience of his or her own nation's jurisprudence.
