Reflecting on judicial responses to CRSV in the Central African Republic.

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.

Le quatrième Dialogue virtuel a permis à des experts de réfléchir à la réponse judiciaire apportée aux violences sexuelles liées au conflit en République centrafricaine (RCA), ainsi qu’à l’impact de cette réponse sur la consolidation de la paix dans ce pays. Le quatrième Dialogue virtuel sera modérée par M. Renaud Galand pour Bureau de l’Etat de droit et des institutions chargées de la sécurité du Département des opérations de paix, Secrétariat des Nations unies. Les panélistes comprenaient M. Yao Agbetse, Mme Rosine Bela Eyebe, M. Patrick Vinck, M. Benoît Narcisse Foukpio, M. Toussaint Muntazini et Mme Anne-Marie Goumba. Mme Denise Brown, Représentante spéciale adjointe du Secrétaire général pour la MINUSCA, prononcera les remarques de clôture.
