NO-OBLIVION - Promoting Universal Jurisdiction while Evoking the Crimes Committed within the Former Yugoslavia

Project description

NO-OBLIVION aims to reflect on the conflicts of the former Yugoslavia, preserving lessons learned post-war and safeguarding a European legacy of human rights, rule of law, 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.

Objectives

Promote greater intergenerational awareness of the atrocities committed in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.
Ensure the perpetuation of social justice and redress for the victims of the Yugoslavian conflicts and the coming generations.
Capacitate judges, prosecutors, and lawyers to act in an efficient and human-centric manner, especially when in contact with International Criminal Law and Universal Jurisdiction.
Promote the rule of law, human and fundamental rights towards more democratic societies devoid of extremism and authoritarianism.
Lay the groundwork for enhancing the mechanism of universal jurisdiction and strengthen the knowledge of justice professionals and young graduates in international crimes.
Educate on the relevance of protecting democracy and fundamental rights by exploring the lessons learned from Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
