Justice politique et tactique judiciaire en Libye : l'usage des tribunaux internationaux et nationaux

Abstract

Regarded as devoid of rules, the Libyan regime made a repeated and singular use of national and international tribunals, whose procedures (more than the decisions) allowed to achieve political goals. On the basis of four cases entangled over twenty years (1990-2010), the paper presents the judicial tactics that consisted in resorting to justice as an instrument of international negotiation and national communication.
