Andrew Cayley was in Bristol House under Peter Perfect from 1977 to 1982. After Brighton College he practised law in the south east of England joining the British Army in 1991 and serving as an infantry platoon commander in Belize (on attachment to the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment) and as a military prosecutor and command legal adviser in Germany and the United Kingdom.
The following is an interview originally published today in GLOBAL BRIEF. Here, GB discusses all things international criminal justice – from the prosecution of the Khmer Rouge leadership in Cambodia to the ICC arrest warrant against Gaddafi – with top international prosecutor Andrew Cayley. The views expressed are those of the interviewee, and do not represent the official position of the UN or the ECCC.
After 12 years prosecuting in the international courts in The Hague Andrew returned to private practice in London.
Prior to leaving the International Criminal Court he filed criminal proceedings against a Sudanese government minister for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur.
In August of this year he was instructed by Charles Taylor, the fomer president of Liberia, charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity in his defence before the Special Court for Sierra Leone. Together with Steven Kay QC he is also defending a Croatian general before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. He nearly managed to see Andrew Kerr in the Midlands this October after over ten years. Next time!
