Biographie
Noah Weisbord est professeur agrégée à la Faculté de droit de L’Université 鶹. Ses recherches portent sur le rôle du droit pénal dans la gestion, le reflet ou l'exacerbation des conflits intergroupes. Un de ses projets actuels examine la légitime défense dans le droit pénal canadien d'un point de vue historique, comparatif et conceptuel. Un autre projet est une étude des doctrines de responsabilité de groupe, y compris la conspiration séditieuse, l'entreprise criminelle commune et la RICO, dans une perspective internationale et comparative. Noah est un expert de premier plan sur le crime d'agression,il a aidé des délégations diplomatiques à définirla responsabilité pénale individuelle en cas de guerre agressive.
Les articles scientifiques de Noah ont été publiés dans le 鶹 Law Journal, le Queen's Law Journal, le Harvard International Law Journal, le Columbia Journal of Transnational Law, le Duke Journal of Comparative and International Law, Law and Contemporary Problems et d'autres publications. Les opinions et les commentaires éditoriaux de Noah ont été publiés dans le New York Times, l'International Herald Tribune, le Globe and Mail et le National Post.
