Whereas the first three panel discussions of the day will consider the Tribunal’s contributions to international criminal courts and tribunals, the former Yugoslavia, and international criminal law, this final part of the symposium programme will focus on the universality of the Tribunal’s work. Each speaker will deliver a short but emphatic statement on the importance of international criminal courts and tribunals – particularly in today’s political climate – and the significance of the ICTY’s work on a global level. This panel event will be an opportunity for speakers to offer ideas and reflections that may serve as inspiration for the future, going beyond the field of law. This will be a truly inspirational and impactful end to the day’s events, and a fitting way to conclude the last ever symposium to be hosted by the Tribunal.
