Judge Richard Goldstone played an instrumental role in bringing apartheid to an end in racist South Africa in the 1990s.

What were the challenges faced by Judge Goldstone in carrying forward the mandate of the International Criminal Court? What lessons can one draw from that experience for the future of such judicial initiatives?
