In our mediatised and visually-driven era, international law, its institutions and practitioners feel the pull of publicity, engage with communicative platforms and negotiate the politics of representation. There is increasing attention given to the visual dimension of law and to the power of the image. In the fields of human rights and international criminal justice, in particular, film has been used as evidence, and for advocacy and outreach. There is also a growing and significant literature beginning to consider the role played by film and representation within our discipline.
