Join us for an event that will address the role of international judicial bodies—specifically the European Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court—in responding to human rights violations. It will explore whether justice is achievable when cases involve the political interests of states, clarify the mechanisms for enforcing judgments, and examine the specific mandates of each court. The conversation will consider whether these mechanisms function effectively in practice or merely operate as symbolic tools dependent on political will. The discussion will focus particularly on human rights violations constituting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The Armenia vs. Azerbaijan and Artsakh cases will be illustrated.
