As part of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Siracusa International Institute, an International Conference on “Peace, Security, and Justice in Europe and the Mediterranean: How can Europe reinforce the global fight against humanity?” was organized on September 17, 2022, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Franco-German University and AIDP. The conference included two panel discussions: the first discussed the issue of peace as a prerequisite of justice or as its ultimate objective in a context of initiatives aiming to ensure accountability for human rights atrocities and ongoing armed conflicts; the second panel discussion addressed the accountability for human trafficking, sexual and gender-based violence, and environmental crimes in the Mediterranean and beyond.
The 102 speakers and participants in attendance – including the President and judges of the International Criminal Court – showed their support, encouragement and appreciation for the achievements of the Institute in its 50 years of life and activity. The International Conference traced the possible new paths that will characterize the future of international criminal justice and the protection of human rights, and which hopefully will see the Siracusa Institute as a protagonist for the next 50 years.
