Closing International Law's Innocence Gap
In this episode of the Duke Law Podcast, Professor Laurence Helfer, co-director of the Center for International & Comparative Law, is joined by colleagues Jayne Huckerby and Brandon Garrett to discuss a new paper in which they argue that now is the time to close a gap in how national criminal legal systems address post-conviction claims of factual innocence. They build a substantive case for recognizing a new international human right and detail the advantages of doing such, offering derivative and freestanding approaches, as well as a framework for adapting the right to national models.
