SUMMARY:NPWJ will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary with an International Conference in Rome
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 18 May 2024\, Non c’è Pace Senza Giustizia / No Peace Without Justice will celebrate its  thirtieth anniversary with an International Conference at the Campidoglio\, in Rome. \nOver these thirty years\, NPSG has waged countless battles for justice and accountability\, giving voice to the victims of atrocities and fighting against impunity for violations and crimes of international law. We have done so through international advocacy campaigns; on-the-ground documentation of crimes; legal and technical support for negotiations; contributions to the jurisprudence\, and doctrine\, as well as our role in the establishment and functioning of international justice mechanisms\, including the International Criminal Court. \nThe common thread that ties these initiatives together is the belief that freedom for each of us is only a Right if it is protected by law; human rights must not just be aspirations\, but must be backed and guaranteed by effective institutional and legal mechanisms that ensure compliance. Throughout our work\, we have observed and directly experienced how impunity and the denial of justice create power dynamics based on the denial of freedom and violence: “dove c’è strage di diritto\, c’è strage di popoli.” \nThe scale and brutality of atrocities committed before the eyes of the world to this day\, and especially the impunity with which they are now openly flaunted\, seem to deny the very existence of law and the legitimacy of the accountability mechanisms that we have helped set up over the past thirty years. But the conclusion we firmly reject is that international law is therefore irrelevant or useless. \nOn the contrary\, increasing impunity is what makes it all the more necessary for us to reaffirm that universal rules and principles of law do exist and must be applied. We therefore turn these rules and principles into action\, through our commitment to support indigenous communities in the Amazon fighting for the simple right to exist\, or in Libya alongside human rights defenders opposing oppression and violence\, as well as our colleagues in Ukraine as much as in the Philippines\, in Myanmar as much as in Palestine\, in Sudan as much as in Afghanistan. \nFor this reason\, the purpose of the Conference\, to which will participate political leaders\, human rights defenders and civil society activists from various parts of the world\, is not only to celebrate with us the milestone of thirty years of political initiatives\, but above all to help us imagine the next thirty years\, and how to turn the challenges we face today into sustained new actions in favour of freedom\, law\, peace and\, therefore\, justice. \nParticipation in the event is free\, but registration on Eventbrite is required: https://bit.ly/NPWJat30 \nLive Streaming:\nhttps://tinyurl.com/Youtube-NPWJ30Y-EN (English)\nhttps://tinyurl.com/Youtube-NPWJ30Y-IT (Italian) \nFor more information\, please contact info@npwj.org \nPreliminary Program\n(Click here to download the pdf version) \n08:30 – 09:00   Arrival of Participants: Coffee and Registration  \n09:10   Participants Seated \n09:15   Welcome Greetings\nRoberto Gualtieri\, Mayor of Rome (TBC)\nMattia Peradotto\, National Office Against Racial Discrimination\, Presidency of the Council of Ministers\nRosario Aitala\, First Vice-President\, International Criminal Court \n09:30   Opening: Tara O’Grady\, President of NPWJ\n            Keynote: Silvia Fernandez de Gurmendi\, former ICC and ICC-ASP President \n09:45   Call to Action: Chief Raoni\, Indigenous Leader \n10:00   Accountability in Action\nModerator: Niccolò Figà Talamanca\, NPWJ Secretary General\nNazhat Khan\, Deputy Prosecutor\, International Criminal Court\nAlpha Sesay\, Deputy Minister of Justice\, Republic of Sierra Leone\nIsatou Touré\, former Vice-President of Gambia\nAlmir Narayamogs Suruí\, Indigenous Paiter Suruí Leader\, Rondônia\, Brazil\nNader Nadery\, Afghan Human Rights Activist\, Senior Fellow at the Wilson Centre\nEmma Bonino\, founder of No Peace Without Justice \n11:15   Keynote: Hatice Cengiz\, Scholar and Human Rights Activist \n11:30   Coffee Break on the Terrazza della Protomoteca (meeting with the press in “Sala Laudato Si”) \n12:00    International Advocacy \nModerator: Fabio Maria Galiani\, International Criminal Lawyer\nInterventions:\nMaurício Ye’kwana\, Yanomami and Ye’kwana leader\, Roraima State\, Brazil\nBarbara Ibrahim\, Center for Philanthropy and Civic Engagement\, American Univ Cairo\nKhady Koita\, Human Rights Activist and President of La Palabre\, Thiès\, Senegal\nRichard Bennett\, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Afghanistan\nGiovanni Fontana\, Human Rights Activist\, Co-Founder of Second Tree\nAhmed Abofoul\, Int’l Lawyer and a Human Rights Advocate\, Al-Haq\, Palestine\nMarcos Orellana\, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Toxics \n13:15   Colazione on the Terrazza of the Protomoteca \n14:30   The International Legal Environment and the Problem of Compliance \nModerator: Marco Perduca\, NPWJ Board Members\nInterventions:\nMauro Politi\, former ICC Judge\, Professor at the University of Trento\nFrancesca Albanese\, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Palestine\nNasser Algheitta\, Professor of International law and Human Rights\, Libya\nVictor Ochen\, Human Rights Activist\, Executive Director of AYINET Uganda\nSalvatore Zappalà\, Professor of International Law\, Univesity of Catania\nRodney Dixon KC\, South African International Human Rights Lawyer\, London\nDavid Donat-Cattin\, Professor of International Law and Climate Change\, Center for Global Affairs\, NYU \n16:00   Closing Session \nModerator: Albert Alejo\, Human Rights and Peoples Empowerment Centre\, Philippines\nInterventions:\nLeila De Lima\, former Senator\, Philippines (v)\nSayed Yousif Almuhafdha\, Bahraini Human Rights Activist and Researcher\nFlavia Lattanzi\, Professor emeritus Int’l Law\, Un.
