The authors are grateful to the editors of the Leiden Journal of International Law, for their work in developing the articles and publishing this special section, and to Elena Baylis, for co-hosting with us the workshop at which the papers were first presented, and for her expert guidance and invaluable input to the Hybrid Justice project more broadly. We are also indebted to Claire Wilmot and Maddalena Procopio for research and practical assistance throughout the project, including the organization of the aforementioned workshop, to the Rockefeller Foundation, which funded the project through the LSE Institute of Global Affairs, and to our project partner the Wayamo Foundation.

2 There is no consensus on what makes a hybrid tribunal ‘hybrid’. The terms ‘internationalized’, ‘mixed’, and ‘hybrid’, as well as the terms ‘hybrids’, ‘hybrid tribunals’, ‘hybrid courts’ and ‘hybrid mechanisms’ are often used interchangeably. For the purposes of this introduction, ‘hybrids’ or ‘hybrid tribunals’ can be read as shorthand for ‘hybrid, internationalized, and mixed investigatory and criminal justice mechanisms’.
