The Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute is pleased to announce the inaugural Benjamin B. Ferencz Essay Competition in honor of former Nuremberg Prosecutor Benjamin B. Ferencz and in conjunction with the International Criminal Court at Ten international conference being held at Washington University School of Law on November 12, 2012. Essays for this competition should address the relationship between crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression, both as a matter of substantive law and jurisdiction. In particular, given that the crime of aggression is not currently enforceable in the ICC, essays should address whether illegal uses of force, interstate or otherwise, resulting in significant loss of life may currently be prosecutable before the ICC as crimes against humanity. The deadline for submission is August 31, 2012. For more information, click here.
