Kursbeschreibung

Expert panel discussion on Gender Persecution and the necessity to criminalise Gender crimes as Crimes against Humanity. Date May 8, 2024, 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM hybrid Content The IAAI-GloCha in cooperation with the Criminal Law Department, Law Faculty, of the Sigmund Freud Private University cordially invite you to the hybrid Panel Discussion on “Gender Persecution” with Experts from the International Criminal Court and the United Nations. This event is supported by the “ZukunftsFonds der Republik Österreich“. Expert panel discussion on Gender Persecution and the necessity to criminalise Gender crimes as Crimes against Humanity. The goal of this expert gathering is to discuss ways to increase awareness regarding the codification of gender persecution and use, as well as to explore the possibility to draft a General Assembly Resolution on the recognition of gender persecution as a crime against humanity. The adoption of the UN General Assembly Resolution 77/249[1], which gave the green light to move forward with the drafting of a treaty on crimes against humanity, as well as the Policy on Gender Persecution launched by the International Criminal Court in 2022 have provided a unique opportunity to recognise gender as a crime against humanity. In this way, the international community could hold regimes that commit gender crimes accountable. Parties bound by an international treaty that considers gender persecution a crime against humanity would have to criminalise gender persecution in their domestic laws and take punitive actions. Universal jurisdiction could also ensure that these crimes could be prosecuted in courts in any country. Panelist Manizha Bakhtari – Ambassador of Afghanistan and Permanent Representative of the Republic of Afghanistan in Austria Reem Alsalem – United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls Oscar Javier Parra Bera – Magistrate at Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, Colombia Susana SaCouto – Director, War Crimes Research Office American University Washington College of Law Valerie Oosterveld – Special Adviser to the International Criminal Court’s Prosecutor on Crimes Against Humanity Georgia Delgado-Fitzgerald – Visiting Professional in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court
