Holding the Dictators to Account

Online, 25 March (3pm GMT; 4pm CET; 5pm EET; 6pm Minsk)

Will Russia’s Vladimir Putin ever stand trial for war crimes in Ukraine?

Last March the International Criminal Court (ICC) indicted him for the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, and the Belarusian opposition wants the court to issue an arrest warrant for Alyaksandr Lukashenka on the same charges. This webinar assesses the chances of seeing justice for actions during the war, and more general challenges of holding the dictators to account for war crimes, repressions and human rights abuses.

Registration closes at 11:00 GMT on 25 March 2024
