Sponsored by the Global Center

The symposium celebrates and springboards from the scholarship and work of our colleague, Distinguished Professor Linda Carter. With distinguished scholars leading our discussions, we will explore the challenges posed by the most serious crimes afflicting humankind around the world. Our panelists will share their expertise and insights on national, regional, and international approaches to atrocity crimes, including criminal trials, truth commissions, and traditional mediation processes. The program promises to be an important exchange of ideas on difficult, but critical issues in the search for a system that can bring justice in the wake of terror and violence.
