"The following is a guest-post by Henry Off. Henry is Board Member at the Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights and a lawyer currently working as an independent consultant at the International Criminal Court. The views in the blogpost and the article are his own. The full article, Crimes of Law: Bringing Legal Professionals to Trial for International Crimes, is available here."

"International crimes are often committed by following the law, not by deviating from it. When the South African apartheid regime subjugated nearly every aspect of Black and coloured South African life, this totalizing system of discrimination, fragmentation, and repression “required administration, application and interpretation by judges, magistrates, prosecutors, officials of the Departments of Justice and Law and Order, and lawyers, both in the academy and the legal profession.” When Nazi Germany repressed the rights of Jews and other minorities, eventually leading to genocide and other unspeakable atrocities, it did so behind a matrix of legal decrees and judicial orders conjoined to the normative German legal system. In Iran, the judiciary, prosecutors, and defence lawyers similarly operate within and facilitate a legal system built on torture, executions, and unfair trials."

"Examples of these overarching systems of atrocity crimes remain all too common. Legal professionals write legal opinions that justify torture or unlawful detention. They reinterpret constitutions in judicial decisions to entrench persecutory policies, shield perpetrators from accountability, or cloak ostensibly colonial criminal conduct in the language of legality."

"Are you someone who believes, to your core, that all victims and survivors of atrocities – regardless of who they are or where they live – deserve justice and accountability?"
