Abstract
The Iraqi Special Tribunal for Crimes against Humanity, whose Statute was adopted in December 2003, is the latest experiment in international criminal justice. It is preceded by a good number of other international or internationalized judicial institutions, some of which were established by Security Council resolution, namely the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY),' International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR),? the Serious Criminal Offences Panels in East Timor (SCOPET), 3 others that are exclusively treaty-based, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC),4 and finally there are those involving an Agreement between the United Nations and the States concerned bringing together a fusion of domestic and international elements. This latter category is comprised of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL)S and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). This article does not intend to compare these institutions with the Iraqi Special Tribunal, except in so far as certain provisions of these fora have been transposed to, or have significantly influenced, the Iraqi Tribunal Statute.?
