- Title
Early Release in International Criminal Law.
- Authors
CHOI, JONATHAN H.
- Abstract
Modern international tribunals have developed a presumption of unconditional early release after prisoners serve two thirds of their sentences, which decreases transparency and is generally out of line with the goals of international criminal law. I trace the development of this doctrine to a false analogy with the law of domestic parole. I then suggest an alternative approach based on prisoners' changed circumstances and enumerate criteria for tribunals to use in future early release decisions.
