About This Event

With global conflicts on the rise, questions about prosecuting war crimes and holding world leaders accountable for international law violations loom large. How can the international community effectively prosecute war crimes while navigating complex political dynamics? What role should international law play in holding world leaders accountable, and how can we strengthen global institutions to combat impunity and uphold the rule of law? Join us for a conversation with Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji, author and former president of the International Criminal Court, and Fay Hartog-Levin as we explore the future of international criminal justice.

Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji’s book, End of Immunity: Holding World Leaders Accountable for Aggression, Genocide, War Crimes, and Crimes against Humanity, will be available for sale and signing after the program.
