Details

Exploring the central legitimacy and effectiveness of international law. How does a Civilised Society deal with the perpetrators of unspeakable crime? Wherein lies the legitimacy of any Internationally convened Tribunal? Ubu, the gross and amoral megalomaniac from Jarry’s Ubu Roi, finds himself before a UN constituted International Tribunal charged with serious violations of international humanitarian law.
