DESCRIPTION:With the rise of emerging powers and the decline of western li
 beral hegemony\, international society is currently undergoing a significa
 nt change. This change is likely to have an impact upon the normative cons
 ensus amongst states on a wide range of issues including justice and human
  rights\, and their institutional manifestations. Daniel's talk will seek 
 to address the question of whether such a change in the international orde
 r poses a threat to the progress that has so far been achieved in protecti
 ng human rights and delivering justice to victims of international crimes.
  This week's CGHR salon will focus on this theme\, particularly with refer
 ence to the situation in Syria and the recent\ncontroversy concerning Sout
 h Africa’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.\n
