Evoking the crimes committed within the Former Yugoslavia to advocate for universal jurisdiction and promote a European legacy of human rights and peace
NO-OBLIVION “Promoting Universal Jurisdiction while Evoking the Crimes Committed within the Former Yugoslavia” looks back at the conflicts of the former Yugoslavia to, through a victim-centric and jurisprudential lens, preserve the lessons learnt in the aftermath of these conflicts and ultimately safeguard an European legacy of respect for human rights, peace and the rule of law.
To this effect the project will deploy a holistic and intergenerational two-fold approach: by employing a comprehensive awareness-raising campaign directed at younger generations, and further expanded to the general public; and by setting up the groundwork for increasing the knowledge of justice professionals on Universal Jurisdiction and International Criminal Law.
