The Hague Symposium Academic Coordinator & Featured Speaker: Prosecutor David Crane
From 2002-2005 David Crane was the founding Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra
Leone, an international war crimes tribunal, appointed to that position by the Secretary
General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. Serving with the rank of Undersecretary General,
Professor Crane’s mandate was to prosecute those who bear the greatest responsibility for
war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious violations of international human
rights committed during the civil war in Sierra Leone during the 1990’s. Among those he indicted for those horrific
crimes was the President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, the first sitting African head of state in history to be held
accountable. Professor Crane was the first American since Justice Robert Jackson and Telford Taylor at Nuremberg
in 1945, to be the Chief Prosecutor of an international war crimes tribunal. Professor Crane serves on IPSI’s Board
of Directors and advises the organization on matters related to international justice. David Crane was appointed a
professor of practice at Syracuse University College of Law in the summer of 2006.
