Book Discussion - The Rohingya, Justice and International Law by Bonavero Institute

The Oxford Transitional Justice Research Group, the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, and the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict’s Programme for International Peace and Security hosted a discussion of Judge Kriangsak Kittichaisaree’s forthcoming book The Rohingya, Justice and International Law (Routledge 2021). Using the plight of the Rohingya as a case study, the book elaborates the complex legal technicalities and impediments in international courts and foreign domestic criminal courts exercising ‘universal jurisdiction’ over such crimes as well as realpolitik in bilateral and multilateral diplomacy. Judge Kriangsak Kittichaisaree (Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea) is joined by discussants Ambassador Stephen Rapp (Blavatnik School of Government) and Dr Priya Pillai (Asia Justice Coalition).
