International war-crime prosecutors are taking part in the second annual International Humanitarian Law Dialogs, a free event being held today and tomorrow at the Chautauqua Institution.

The sessions, co-sponsored by the Robert H. Jackson Center, will address issues of international law including ethnic cleansing, the forced service of children, and how international courts identify and prosecute perpetrators of such crimes.

Organizers expect participating prosecutors to again issue a "Chautauqua declaration" asserting the necessity of enforcing international law to prevent the recurrence of atrocities and demanding the arrest of war criminals still at large.

Serge Brammertz, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, is expected to participate in the event, as are David Tolbert of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court; Whitney Harris and Henry King of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg; Robert Petit from the Courts of Cambodia; Hassan Jallow of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda; and David Crane and Stephen Rapp of the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Robert Jackson, an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1941-54, was the chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials.

The Jackson Center is hosting the exhibit "From Nuremberg to the Hague" in connection with the event.
