LAW, alongside Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice and UN Women, is organising a two-day international conference on Gender Justice and International Criminal Law to explore gender dimensions in the practice and legal framework of international criminal justice for the purpose of ensuring stronger accountability. The conference will be an exploration of pivotal issues that push the boundaries of Gender Justice in International Criminal Law. It will convene 100+ key actors in the Gender Justice field to share knowledge, inspire practical solutions, and renew energy to inform the future of a more equitable International Criminal Law field.
The impetus for the conference is the publication of the comprehensive book Gender and International Criminal Law (Oxford University Press 2022), edited by Indira Rosenthal, Valerie Oosterveld, and Susana SáCouto, and a new initiative to establish a Gender Justice Practitioner Hub (GJP Hub) to support and connect practitioners involved in securing gender justice for core international crimes.
The Conference will take place on 16 and 17 January 2024 in The Hague, The Netherlands. Both in-person and online participation in the will be possible. You can register to attend the conference, here.
