The Nuremberg Forum 2024 is organised as a hybrid event. The speakers and a limited number of participants will gather at Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. An interactive online platform allows broad attendance including interactive engagement and discussion.
Overview
The International Nuremberg Principles Academy cordially invites you to attend the Nuremberg Forum 2024, which will take place from 10 to 12 October 2024. The conference will explore themes relating to the protection of children’s rights in the context of armed conflict.
Details
The Convention of the Rights of the Child is the most ratified human rights treaty in history. And yet, despite such wide ratification, children across the world continue to live in vulnerable and fragile settings prone to the violation of a spectrum of rights enshrined in the convention. Nowhere is this fragility more amplified than in contexts of armed conflict.
The Nuremberg Forum 2024 will trace the historical evolutions of the international human rights frameworks protecting children and highlight its achievements and dissonances. The conference discussions will also delve into the strategies and experiences most relevant to international courts when prosecuting crimes against children. The exchanges will incorporate the perspectives of domestic contexts and relevant transitional justice policies that enhance the protection of children’s rights.
ABOUT THE NUREMBERG FORUM
The Nuremberg Forum is an annual international conference organised by the International Nuremberg Principles Academy (Nuremberg Academy). It brings together leading scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and civil society, and provides a forum for dialogue and critical exchange on contemporary international criminal law matters. Located in Nuremberg, the birthplace of modern international criminal law, the Nuremberg Academy offers a neutral space, and is thus an apt setting, for the necessary dialogue on the development of international criminal law and the implementation and interpretation of the Nuremberg Principles today.
