All about universal jurisdiction

 

Dear friends,

You have probably seen it, the Universal Jurisdiction Annual Review (UJAR) 2021 is out! This report is a great compilation of the most important cases related to the principle of the universal jurisdiction. We were delighted to share it with you a few weeks ago, and it is still available for download. 

Last month, good news came from Bosnia-Herzegovina: In the Serbian Republic of Bosnia, it is finally forbidden to mention the sex life of survivors of wartime rape in court! On the other hand, in Burundi or Nepal, the victims of the worst abuses are still struggling to obtain justice and to shed light on the actions of state forces. 

Wishing you a pleasant read, 

The TRIAL International team
