LEGAL BASIS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERNATIONAL AND HYBRID CRIMINAL COURTS AND ITS IMPACT ON ENFORCEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Original language description
The aim of this paper is to illustrate how the legal basis of the court may affect enforcement of international law in the context of immunities. This paper will focus on the case of Charles Taylor before the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). Taylorwas only the second Head of State in history after Slobodan Milošević, and the first African head of state to be indicted for crimes under international law at the international level. The Taylor case well illustrates collision of the two interests in contemporary international law: the growing need for international accountability for crimes under international law and a system of immunities deriving its origins, as most often claimed, from principle of sovereign equality of States. The main focus ofthis paper is the legal basis of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), deeper analysis of personal and functional immunities available to Taylor will not form part of this paper.
