On Thursday 23^rd October, Dr. Róisín Mulgrew, gave an Author Talk at the International Criminal Court.

Hosted by the International Criminal Court library, the Author Talk series allows judicial, legal and other officers of the Court to meet with authors publishing in the field of international criminal law and related disciplines.

Following an invitation from Justice Hohler, Dr. Mulgrew travelled to The Hague to share findings and insights from her latest book – Early Release in International Criminal Law.

Dr. Mulgrew’s book provides a comprehensive and critical account of the law, policy and practice underpinning early release systems in international criminal law. Dr. Mulgrew explores the distinct forms that early release can take and investigates key questions. Who makes and influences early release decisions? What factors are taken into account? Can conditional release be granted? And if so, who supervises this and what happens if conditions are breached?

Highlighting both institutional-specific discussions and systemic critiques of early release in international criminal law, this book provides fresh insights into the reach, depth and impact of international punishment. Dr. Mulgrew assesses and compares the systems in place at a variety of international criminal courts for unconditional and conditional early release, and sentence reduction.
