This six-minute micro-documentary explores the tensions between humanitarian NGOs, like CARE and Save the Children, and advocates for international justice. The president of Save the Children, Charles MacCormack, describes his organizations explusion from Sudan by President Bashir after the International Criminal Court charged Bashir with crimes against humanity in March 2009. ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo argues that President Bashir expelled these groups, not because of any real cooperation between the NGOs and his office, but to pressure the international community. Ken Roth, president of Human Rights Watch, calls for a parallel partnership between humanitarian NGOs and the ICC, to prevent collaboration from compromising any group. Leading figures in both the justice and humanitarian movements debate whether dialogue is possible across these lines, raising both practical and ethical questions.

The Consultative Conference on International Criminal Justice was held at the United Nations in New York.

Conference discussion papers used to frame each session are available for download at http://internationalcriminaljustice.net/.

Video, audio, session summaries, interviews, articles and a comprehensive conference report will be published on that website and made available to the general public.

The Consultative Conference was sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation and convened by the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University.
