Since its establishment at the turn of the century, a central preoccupation of the
International Criminal Court (ICC) has been to catalyze—through the principle of
complementarity—the pursuit of criminal accountability at the domestic level. This
roundtable discussion will explore what impact the ICC, now operational for
twenty years, has had in certain countries, how its interventions have evolved
over time, and what challenges it has faced. Participants will also consider broader
questions about the future of accountability for atrocity crimes in both
international law and politics. Where does international criminal justice today
stand as a field and a practice? How should we be thinking about the future of the
field? And what role should the ICC play—or not play—in the next twenty years?

“Fleeing a Home, Seeking a Home: Jewish Refugees in Modern Times”
This panel grapples with refugee Jews displaced by war in three different geopolitical contexts: Ukraine, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Profs Jeff Veidlinger, Eliyana Adler, and Shay Hazkani recapture lost voices of displacement and rethink the meaning of “refugee” as they explore the experiences of Ukrainian Jews who left their homes in the wake of anti-Jewish violence unleashed during the Russian Civil War; Polish Jews who, in the midst of the Holocaust, fled the Germans and were deported by the Soviets to Central Asia; and of Moroccan Jews, who immigrated to Israel shortly after the establishment of the Jewish state. Chair: Prof. Elissa Bemporad.
This event is hosted in association with The Holocaust and The United Nations Outreach Programme, Outreach Division, Department of Global Communications, United Nations.
