What are the current challenges regarding reparations for past mass crimes? What role for the International Criminal Court, the European Court of Human Rights or for national jurisdictions? What about the victims?
These issues will be discussed and debated by the panelists, who will notably address challenges related to the identification of claims submitted to domestic and international courts, the identification of victims, available remedies, as well as the gathering of evidence of injuries and damages.
