IBA War Crimes Committee Conference 2026: Masters of war
18 Apr 2026
Session information
Description
As states increasingly focus on defence budgets, international justice mechanisms face a chronic funding crisis. This contributes to conflict by undermining the capacity of institutions such as the ICC and human rights bodies to deliver justice. This panel will also consider the relationships between judicial and quasi-judicial efforts, and the interrelationship of these with core international bodies, examining apparent duplications, overlaps and who loses out in the fight for global attention.
