Balancing Sovereignty and Justice: Advancing Universal Jurisdiction in Africa

Event: 27 June 2025

Mass atrocities continue to threaten peace and human rights throughout Africa. Addressing these crimes requires a careful balance between respecting national sovereignty and ensuring justice.

This event brings together experts, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society representatives to discuss how universal jurisdiction can be advanced in Africa to hold perpetrators accountable and the tools regional legal instruments and institutions can play in promoting accountability and reinforcing the rule of law across the continent.

Join us tomorrow at the Pan African Lawyers Union annual conference in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
