PATRYK I.  LABUDA

ABSTRACT
The doctoral dissertation focuses on the interplay between international criminal tribunals and domestic judicial reform. It seeks to explore how international jurisdiction impacts the domestic legal systems of post-conflict states. Drawing on several case studies, the dissertation evaluates the extent to which the jurisdiction models of international tribunals have generated reform and allowed states to transition from conflict to peace.
