IOP Pritzker Fellow David Pressman on "Peace Without Justice: Is Accountability Really A Prerequisite for Peace"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Monday, November 3

3:30-4:45pm

Advocates of international justice often emphasize that peace is never sustainable without accountability for perpetrators. I have worked on preventing and responding to mass atrocities around the world both from inside the government – at the UN Security Council and the White House – and outside leading non-governmental organizations and global campaigns on human rights issues. We will discuss the state of international justice, including the institutions set up to advance it, and probe the efficacy of the adage that there can be no peace without justice.

Special Guest: Beth Van Schaack, former Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice in the Biden Administration
