Christopher C. Black fought for justice in politically agendized international courts.
International criminal defense attorney and writer Christopher C. Black died suddenly on June 5, 2025. He will be sorely missed. His analysis of the imbalanced scales of international justice and his representation of those wrongly accused should be long remembered and honored.

'Tshibwabwa’s masks and body costumes, assembled as ‘The Hidden Face of Coltan’, are a parody of early modern plate armour. Their martial character reminds us that the coltan in our phones is a blood mineral, which fuels the wars in the eastern DRC.
