Persidangan Campuran: Mencari Keadilan Di Timor Timur

Abstract

The Hybrid tribunal is a system that share judicial accountability jointly between the state in which it function and the United Nations. Based on "the lesson learn" from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (!CTR), the hybrid model endeavor to combine the strengths of the ad hoc tribunals with the benefits of local prosecutions. The hybrid model's great• est risk is that rather than incorporate the best of the international and local judicial systems, it may reflect the worst of both. This article identifies the weakness in East Timor's hybrid tribunal and examines their underlying causes. Two big questions in this article are: First, is the theoretical ideal of the hybrid model attainable in practice? Second, is a constrained judicial mechanism preferable to none?The critical analysis offered by this article is motivated by a desire to understand the weaknesses of the tribunal so that they may be avoided in the future.
