“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 this war and ultimately safeguard a European legacy of respect for human rights, rule of law and peace

To this effect the project deploys a holistic and intergenerational two-fold approach: on the one hand,
​a holistic awareness-raising campaign directed at younger generations, and further expanded to the masses; and on the other, an interweaved knowledge-building strategy focused on justice professionals and their capacitation in what concerns Universal Jurisdiction and International Criminal Law

​In this line, the project will host a myriad of different events such as multigenerational talks and podcasts, conferences, virtual exhibitions, live-streamed movie screenings, and performing arts showcases, as well as develop important informative materials like an Academic Journal, a Case-Law Booklet and guiding infographics that will prove useful for practitioners and academics alike. As such, the project aims to reach around 2400 persons over the span of 12 months
