challenges to the Successful Prosecution of war crimes
Social Science Research Network, 2021Co-Authors: Muhammad Sher AbbasAbstract:The research article explores as to which procedural and structural reforms are essential to make this organisation more vibrant by evaluating those problems which elude Prosecutions of the war crimes across-the-board. It shall dilate upon the inherent internal and external prosecutorial limitations relating to: the sovereignty and complementarity; concurrent and universal jurisdiction; international recognition and executing mechanism, and •inadequate contemplation for war-on-terror All the aforementioned factors impinge upon the credibility of the Prosecutions of war crimes and call for its review so as to reinforce the global perception as regards its independence and all-encompassing capacity as an International Criminal Justice System.

Witness recall across repeated interviews in a case of repeated abuse
Child abuse & neglect, 2013Co-Authors: Sonja P. Brubacher, David J. La RooyAbstract:In this illustrative case study we examine the three forensic interviews of a girl who experienced repeated sexual abuse from ages 7 to 11. She disclosed the abuse after watching a serialized television show that contained a storyline similar to her own experience. This triggered an investigation that ended in Successful Prosecution of the offender. Because this case involved abuse that was repeated on a weekly basis for 4 years we thus investigated the degree to which the child's narrative reflected specific episodes or generic accounts, and both the interviewer's and child's attempts to elicit and provide, respectively, specific details across the 3 interviews collected in a 1 month period. Across the 3 interviews, the child's account was largely generic, yet on a number of occasions she provided details specific to individual incidents (episodic leads) that could have been probed further. As predicted: earlier interviews were characterized more by episodic than generic prompts and the reverse was true for the third interview; the child often responded using the same style of language (episodic or generic) as the interviewer; and open questions yielded narrative information. We discuss the importance of adopting children's words to specify occurrences, and the potential benefits of permitting generic recall in investigative interviews on children's ability to provide episodic leads. Despite the fact that the testimony was characterized by generic information about what usually happened, rather than specific episodic details about individual occurrences, this case resulted in Successful Prosecution.

sexual assault forensic medical examination is evidence related to Successful Prosecution
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2002Co-Authors: Margaret J Mcgregor, Janice Du Mont, Terri L MyhrAbstract:Abstract Study Objective: We describe the medical-legal findings in a population of adult sexual assault cases assessed in an emergency department setting and reported to the police, document the law enforcement and legal disposition of cases seen over the study period, and determine whether medical-legal findings are associated with filing of charges and conviction after adjusting for demographic factors and assault characteristics. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of all police-reported cases seen from January 1993 to December 1997 at the British Columbia Women's Sexual Assault Service, a 24-hour hospital-based emergency service. Information on patient demographics, assault characteristics, and medical-legal findings was merged with data extracted from police and court files on the cases' legal outcomes and sperm-semen test results of collected forensic evidence. Cases were assigned a clinical injury extent score reflecting the degree of documented genital and extragenital injury. The association of medical-legal variables, patient demographics, and assault characteristics with filing of charges (among the subset of cases in which a suspect was identified by police) and conviction (among the subset of cases in which charge were filed) was examined by using logistic regression. Results: Charges were filed in 151 (32.7%) and a conviction secured in 51 (11.0%) of the 462 cases examined in this study. Genital injury was observed in 193 (41.8%), and sperm-semen-positive forensic results were obtained in 100 (38.2%) of the 262 samples tested. A gradient association was found for injury extent score and charge filing in the following categories: mild injury (odds ratio [OR] 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09 to 7.45); moderate injury (OR 4.00; 95% CI 1.63 to 9.84); and severe injury (OR 12.29; 95% CI 3.04 to 49.65). Documentation on the police file of receipt of forensic samples collected by the Sexual Assault Service examiner was also significantly associated with charges being filed (OR 3.45; 95% CI 1.82 to 6.56). Injury extent score defined as severe was the only variable significantly associated with conviction (OR 6.51; 95% CI 1.31 to 32.32). Conclusion: The finding that documented injury extent had a significant positive association with both filing of charges and conviction is an important step in confirming the value of injury documentation in the forensic examination of sexual assault victims.
