Overview:

How do international tribunals operating during war to secure justice affect the work of peacemakers?   Do they help bring parties to the peace table, or do they hinder the prospects for peace?   Please join us as Senior Fellow Joyce Neu discusses her research into the impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on the peace negotiations in Bosnia. She will also share the implications of her findings for current efforts to find a balance between peace and justice in countries emerging from conflict.

Dr. Neu is the executive director of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego and Professor of Practice in the graduate program in Peace and Justice Studies. She has conducted conflict assessments and/or facilitated talks in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republic of Congo, Estonia, Georgia/Abkhazia, Madagascar, Mali, Sudan, and Uganda. Neu served as a senior associate director (19962000) and associate director (19921996) of the Conflict Resolution Program at The Carter Center.
