Addressing justice responses to CRSV where it intersects with crimes of slavery and trafficking.

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 fifth Digital Dialogue brought together contributing authors of the Special Issue, practitioners and experts who have reflected on and/or worked in the justice response to conflict-related sexual violence crimes associated with slavery and trafficking. The fifth Digital Dialogue was moderated by Patricia Viseur Sellers (Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College of the University of Oxford, Special Advisor for Gender for the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court). Panelists included Jocelyn Getgen (Clinical Associate Professor of Law, Cardozo Law School), Stephanie Barbour (Senior SGBV Advisor Commission for International Justice and Accountability (CIJA)), Valiant Richey (OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings), Aimée Comrie (Coordinator, GLO.ACT Asia and the Middle East, UNODC) and Ameena Saeed (Yezidi advocate on trafficking and slavery).
