Can Justice Be Achieved in the Devastation of Modern Wars?

from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute

Have the great ambitions for the role of international criminal justice in the world been misplaced? Can international courts deliver meaningful justice for the victims of extreme crimes in conflict? This conversation will explore the challenges of seeking accountability for war time atrocities with Erik Møse, one the pioneering figures of international criminal justice. His perspectives will draw from decades of experience, having served as the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and presided over the trials of the leading figures of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, where an estimated 800,000 individuals were killed within 100 days. In his current role as Chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, he will share his reflections on the rapidly evolving techniques for investigating international crimes in conflict zones. Speaker Erik Møse, Chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine; former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda; former judge of the European Court of Human Rights and the Supreme Court of Norway In conversation with Rosemary Byrne, Professor of Legal Studies, NYUAD
