Add to Calendar

Auditorium Ivan Pictet A
Maison de la paix, Geneva

Two years after the group calling itself the ‘Islamic state’ (ISIS) seized control of parts of Iraq and Syria, the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria has published a report finding that the group has committed massive international crimes involving mass killing, gang rape and torture. At a time when members of the group may be returning to their countries of origin, what routes are there to ensure criminal accountability for these crimes. Are there any helpful practices from previous conflicts?

Panel

  • Razaw Salihy, Researcher on Iraq, Amnesty International
  • Nareen Shammo, Journalist, has led missions in Iraq to free Yazidi women held captive by ISIS
