The American Branch International Humanitarian Law Committee is pleased to co-sponsor the virtual panel discussion, A Major Development to End Impunity for Mass Atrocities: The Ljubljana – The Hague Convention on International Cooperation in the Investigation and Prosecution of the Crime of Genocide, Crimes against Humanity, War Crimes and other International Crimes, on November 15, 2023 at 12:00-1:30 pm ET.

Many treaties define and prohibit genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes but fail to address enforcement. The recently negotiated Ljubljana-The Hague Convention aims to fill that gap. This panel event brings together academics and expert representatives of States and NGOs who were responsible for successful conclusion of treaty negotiations and who will discuss what comes next.

Moderated by:

Professor Gabor Rona, Professor of Practice International Humanitarian Law, Cardozo Law

Panelists:

Raquel Saavedra, International Legal Adviser for the International Commission of Jurists’ Accountability Initiative.

Professor Ezéchiel Amani Cirimwami, Professor of International Law at the University of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Guest Professor of International Law at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels and the Royal Military Academy of Belgium.

Dr. Marko Rakovec, Director General for International Law and Protection of Interests at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia.

Professor Vaios Koutroulis, Professor of Public International Law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles Faculty of Law and Criminology.
