Abstract

Abstract In some respects, internationalized criminal courts and tribunals combine all the advantages and disadvantages of both national and international criminal courts. However, this would probably not give a true picture. This is because such tribunals are highly heterogeneous; the circumstances of their creation in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, and East Timor are extremely different; their degree of ‘internationalization’ is far from uniform; the scope of their jurisdiction varies; and their modes of functioning are hardly comparable. In addition, their common characteristics, in particular their ‘ad hocism’ and their semi-internationalization, raise specific issues compared with national courts, as well as with truly international bodies such as the International Criminal Court.
