UpRights Conducts Training on the Prosecution of International Crimes

08-07-2024

On July 3, 2024, UpRights took part in the 7th edition of “Building the Capacity of Judges to Deal with International Crimes in Africa”, a training course for judges and prosecutors from French-speaking African countries organized in the context of the high-level training programme on international criminal law and transnational criminal law by the T.M.C. Asser Instituut, the Antonio Cassese Initiative, and the International Nuremberg Principles Academy.

During her panel, UpRights’ Co-Director Valérie Gabard conducted an interactive exercise related to the investigation and qualification of conflict-related sexual violence, with a particular focus on the qualification of SGBV in the context of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Valérie’s presentation concluded the third day of the training, allowing participants to engage in discussions on the complex process of investigating and prosecuting sexual and gender-based violence.

Covering topics like the elements of international crimes, investigations and prosecution strategies, and the protection of witnesses and victims in international criminal law cases, the training course was developed to equip judges and prosecutors with practical skills, tools, and knowledge necessary to address international and transnational crimes effectively.
