War crimes: a comparative opportunity.

Arnell, Paul

Abstract

The forthcoming English war crime trial of Szymon Serafinowicz' provides a prime opportunity to engage in comparative analysis and speculation. This is facilitated by two legally kindred states, Canada and Australia, having relatively recently gone down a similar path. Not only is comparison valuable and enlightening per se, it provides a platform from which speculation as to the likely outcome of the English proceedings can be made. This article is in two sections: a comparison of the legislative provisions of Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, and a synopsis of the judicial proceedings in Australia and Canada with comment upon the likely outcome in the English trial.
