About the speaker
Sir Geoffrey Nice KC
Sir Geoffrey Nice KC has practised as a barrister since 1971. From 1998 to 2006, he served at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), where he led the prosecution of Slobodan Milošević, the former President of Serbia.
Since then, his work has remained focused on international justice, including cases before the permanent International Criminal Court involving Sudan, Kenya and Libya. He has also worked pro bono on behalf of victims’ groups from countries such as Iran, Burma and North Korea, whose cases are often unable to reach any international court.
Sir Geoffrey is actively involved with several non-governmental organisations and frequently lectures and contributes to media discussions on international war crimes. A part-time judge since 1984, he has sat at the Old Bailey and in various other jurisdictions, tribunals and inquiries. From 2009 to 2012, he served as Vice-Chair of the Bar Standards Board, the regulatory body for barristers in England and Wales.
