Why are Special Courts needed, and do they help achieve justice? Could Libya benefit from a Special Court? How can a Special Court be compatible with other international mechanisms? To unravel all this, hosts Elham and Marwa talk to prominent American lawyer and former US Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues, Stephen Rapp. Stephen Rapp has over twenty years of experience in the field of international justice and accountability and he served as the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. Our latest report, “Justice is the only way forward”: Perceptions of justice in Libya ten years on, explores the perceptions of justice of Libyans, their views on the transitional justice process and their priorities for accountability ten years on from the 2011 uprising.  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.   Follow us:   Twitter: @Libyamatterspod Facebook: @Libyamatters Instagram: @libyamatterspodcast Find our hosts on Twitter @Elham_LFJL and @Marwa_LFJL.  This season of Libya Matters was produced by Damiri Media: @damiri.official Artwork by Agata Nowicka: @pixelendo  Libya Matters is brought to you by Lawyers for Justice in Libya (LFJL).   Visit our website.
