With the launch of the Special Issue of the Journal of International Criminal Justice, on 21 July 2020, the UN Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict, together with the Center for Gender Human Rights and Migration of Washington University of St. Louis, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative of Harvard University, the Human Rights Program and Institute for the Study of Human Rights of Columbia University and the School of Transnational Governance of the European University Institute, initiated a Digital Dialogue Series (DDS) addressing topics covered in the Special Issue with some of the leading practitioners in the field. The Digital Dialogue Series are webinars open to everyone. They have been designed to ensure that academics, policymakers and practitioners can have open discussions, provoke critical reflections, and hopefully inspire a community of practice with delivering truly accessible and effective survivor-centered justice.
The second Digital Dialogue of the Series will bring together several contributing authors to the Special Issue, academics, and experts on the prosecution and investigation of serious crimes in Latin America, with a focus on Colombia and Guatemala. Indeed, despite widespread impunity for conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), there have been a number of significant and innovative efforts to hold perpetrators accountable within national justice systems in these countries.
