Law professors from around the United States and various international law experts will participate in two panel discussions: "The Accountability Paradigm: International and Domestic Fora for the Trial of International Crimes" in the morning, and "Challenges to Prosecution: Effectiveness, Legitimacy and Realpolitik" in the afternoon. Closing remarks will be given by David Scheffer, senior vice president of the United Nations Association of the United States of America and former ambassador-at-large for war crimes.
