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’.
