Agenda
At the end of 2017, 20 years will have passed since the adoption of the UN General Assembly Resolution No. 52/160, which convened the Diplomatic Conference for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. The past years have made it clear that the shift in anticipations from supranational criminal courts is becoming more and more apparent. This is true for both the international legal scholarship and post-conflict societies.
A simple and obvious thesis that no peace possible without justice is no longer accepted without doubts.
The International Criminal Court and other acting and eventual hybrid and international criminal courts are expected to make a tangible contribution to overcoming the consequences of conflicts and reconciliation. These new expectations together with multi-vector nature of the stakeholders’ political interests require international criminal justice (ICJ) to be more effective in the turbulent world.
National University “Odesa Law Academy” welcomes to a new forum to discuss present and future of the international criminal justice through the frame of its institutional credibility — International Conference “International Criminal Justice in the Turbulent World”.
The best experts on international criminal law, including the ICC Judge Anita Ušacka, the President of the Council of Europe anti-torture Committee Mykola Gnatovskyy and other researchers and practitioners, will discuss the topical challenges for the international criminal justice.
We invite scientists and legal practitioners, researching and practicing in areas connected with the subject of the conference.
The general theme of the event will be revealed in discussions within the framework of the Nuremberg (general theoretical and historical issues of ICJ), Hague (the law of international criminal courts ad hoc), Roman (the law of the International Criminal Court) and Freetown (hybrid criminal justice) panels.
-
Panels of the first day will include speeches by leading experts in the format 30/30 minutes (speech/discussion).
-
The format of the panels of the second day is 5/10 min.
Presented reports will be published in a special electronic volume and posted on the web site of the event.
The official language of the conference is English.
