International Criminal Court Expert

Newswise — Allison Danner, assistant professor of law at Vanderbilt University, is an expert in the law, procedure and design of international criminal tribunals. She can explain the advantages and disadvantages of the various systems through which Saddam Hussein's trial may take place—from a purely Iraqi-led criminal tribunal to the International Criminal Court. Danner can explain why Hussein's trial is likely to be approached differently than war crimes cases in Rwanda, Sierra Leone and the former Yugoslavia.
