Since his election to the Tribunal by the U.N. General Assembly in
March 2001, Judge Meron has served on the Appeals Chamber, which
hears appeals from both the International Criminal Tribunal for the
Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda (ICTR). Between March 2003 and November 2005 he served
as President of the Tribunal, and was re-elected to this position
in October 2011. A leading scholar of international humanitarian
law,
human rights, and international criminal law, Judge Meron wrote
some of the books and articles that helped build the legal
foundations for international criminal tribunals. A Shakespeare
enthusiast, he
has also written articles and books on the laws of war and chivalry
in Shakespeare's historical plays.
All in all, this volume of speeches presents a rich and fascinating
cornucopia for any reviewer, and it would be impossible to comment
on all the important issues presented.
