Welcome to our Summer newsletter!

Dear friends, 

This newsletter touches on three key topics we have worked on in the first semester of 2017: the Sonko case in Switzerland, the rise of universal jurisdiction and the normalized crisis in Burundi. The fourth subject - the anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre - invites us not to repeat the mistakes of the past: in the face of atrocities, we cannot be bystanders. 

Thank you for your loyalty and a very happy Summer to all!
