About
This website was primarily used to document my internship at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. It is no longer actively updated.
My name is Devon Whittle and I am a lawyer in Australia with an interest in international law particularly in relation to the United Nations Security Council, trade/investment and the laws of war. In the past I have volunteered for defence counsel at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, with the Castan Centre and on other initiatives such as the Oxford Reports on International Law.
I have also authored and co-authored two journal articles and two case notes:
- Andrew Mitchell, Tania Voon and Devon Whittle, “Public Health and the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement” (2014) Asian Journal of International Law Forthcoming.
- Devon Whittle, “Frivolous Motions and Abuses of Process at the Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals” (2013) 22(1) Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law 1.
- Andrew Mitchell, James Munro and Devon Whittle, “Vannessa Ventures LTD v Venezuela (Award) (ICSID Additional Facility Rules, Case No ARB (AF)/04/6, 16 January 2013)” (2013) 15(1) The Journal of World Trade and Investment Forthcoming.
- Devon Whittle, “Nystrom v Australia, UN Doc CCPR/C/102/D/1557/2007 (18 July 2011)” (2012) 19 Australian International Law Journal 235.
My past studies have included international humanitarian law, trade law, refugee law, comparative and transnational law, and have allowed me to intern in the Chambers of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and in the international arbitration group of Wilmer Hale in London. I have also contributed to the IBA Manual on International Criminal Law, and assisted in the creation of a collection of essays in honour of Navanethem Pillay.
If you have any questions or comments you can e-mail me at [email protected] I am available to assist with advice in relation to legal internships, legal studies or more generally, and am happy to consider offering substantive assistance in relation to any of the areas I have worked or studied in.
