This Symposium will first focus on the process that led to the elaboration of draft articles for a new treaty by the UN International Law Commission, the content of the draft articles, and the process that led to the adoption of Resolution 79/122. Next, speakers will provide insight into what can be expected over the next five years as negotiations begin in earnest, the hurdles the process may face, and the path forward as the world moves toward a global agreement on the prevention and punishment of horrific crimes which, unfortunately, continue to occur every day.
The Symposium will convene experts who have contributed to this sixteen-year process, as well as experts in international criminal law and public international law. We are particularly excited about this opportunity, given the extraordinary contributions of the teams of WashU Law students and alumni who have worked on the project since its inception.
