Discussions on delivering survivor-centered justice for CRSV.

The UN Team of Experts and the Journal of International Criminal Justice (the Journal) came together to present a Special Issue of the Journal on the Progress and Challenges of National Efforts to Address Impunity for Sexual Violence in Conflict. With the launch of the Special Issue, the UN Team of Experts, together with its partners, initiated a Digital Dialogue Series addressing topics covered in the Special Issue. The Digital Dialogue Series has been designed to ensure that academics, policymakers and practitioners have open discussions, provoke critical reflections, and hopefully inspire a community of practice on delivering survivor-sensitive justice for conflict-related sexual violence.

The first Digital Dialogue was launched with a framing statement by the Under-Secretary General and Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten. The event was chaired by the Team Leader of the UN Team of Experts, Ms. Chloe Marnay-Baszanger. Panelists included Mr. Guido Acquaviva, Ms. Kim Thuy Seelinger, Ms. Karen Naimer and Mr. Daniele Perissi. Ms. Margot Wallström, former Minister for Foreign Affairs for Sweden and former Under-Secretary General and Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, gave the closing remarks.
