My Presentation on International Law and the Coup at Georgetown University
Jan 30
At my presentation yesterday at a conference hosted by Georgetown University, I was asked to speak on international law and the coup. I spoke about the Statute of Rome, its definition of “crimes against humanity,” the standards for individual culpability, the risks that senior Egyptian officials could be indicted for their actions in the wake of the coup, and what that means for the possibility of democratization in the near or medium term in Egypt. Here are my slides for that presentation.
