Uganda Symposium on the International Criminal Court in Africa
On 2 May 2008, OTJR hosted a symposium at Makerere University, Kampala, on "Peace, Justice and the International Criminal Court in Africa," in conjunction with the Human Rights and Peace Centre (HURIPEC) at Makerere University, the Royal African Society, and the Foundation for Law, Justice and Society (FLJS) at the University of Oxford. 150 Makerere staff, students, journalists and government, UN and NGO representatives attended the symposium which explored in depth the impact of the ICC's operations on peace and justice in African conflict countries.
