3. Lucinda Lecture – “Of lions and squeaking mice in anxious times”
21st Lucinda Lecture “Of lions and squeaking mice in anxious times”
By Emeritus Professor H P Lee
From time to time most countries will encounter threats to the security of the state polity, ranging from a wartime situation to the contemporary terror threats.
Extraordinary legislation is often resorted to as a means of protecting public safety. Such legislation inevitably draws the courts into the spotlight. Perilous times present the courts with a dilemma. This lecture seeks to canvass that dilemma and the lessons that can be learnt from past judicial experience in Australia and some selected jurisdictions.
Date: Thursday 8 October, 2015
Time: 6:00pm – 7:00pm (followed by refreshments)
Venue: Monash University Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale St, Melbourne
Cost: Free
RSVP: Thursday 1 October, 2015 law-marketing@monash.edu or (03) 9905 2630

There is much commentary about international criminal trials, and pre-trial considerations such as capture and decisions to prosecute or not. But there is very little commentary on what happens to alleged international criminals after a trial. It seems States are only interested in ‘fighting impunity’ and ignore post-trial justice.
What happens to those who have been acquitted and those who have served their sentence? Such people are often denied refugee status, creating a category of international outlaws. And what is the interplay between national and international criminal justice where former defendants can be prosecuted nationally after having been tried internationally? This is not only a question of double jeopardy – international trials are unable to cope with all elements of mass crimes, so there will always, perhaps, be an outstanding allegation that can be dealt with at the national level.
