Despite the existence of sophisticated international legal instruments and institutions aimed at human rights protection and particularly at prevention and punishing atrocity crimes (genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity), we still witness the most serious human rights violations in different parts of the world, including the current dramatic example of Ukraine. Is it possible to find more effective ways to stop such violations? How to achieve this goal? These challenging dilemmas will be addressed by prominent human rights protection practitioners in a panel discussion followed by a Q&A session.
Our guests are:
Dr Vincent A. De Gaetano, former Judge and Section President at the European Court of Human Rights; Chief Justice Emeritus, Malta
