Dealing with war crimes is a key prerequisite for justice and lasting peace. Only if atrocities are documented, investigated and legally prosecuted can victims be recognised and future crimes prevented. The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine poses enormous challenges for international criminal justice - at the same time, it is a touchstone for the effectiveness of international legal norms and the responsibility of the international community.

Under the working title „Russian war crimes in Ukraine, international criminal jurisdiction and the debate in Germany“ we invite you to an event with keynote speeches and a subsequent panel discussion.

With: Klaus Hofmann, Senior Public Prosecutor Freiburg, who worked on the investigation of war crimes in Ukraine and headed the Ukrainian General Prosecutor's Office.
