IBA War Crimes Committee Conference 2026: Masters of war
18 Apr 2026
Session information
Description
While states pour billions into defence budgets, international justice mechanisms face a chronic funding crisis. This isn’t just administrative, it contributes to conflict by undermining the capacity of institutions like the ICC, Conflict of Interest, and human rights treaty bodies to deliver justice. This panel will also consider the relationships between judicial and quasi-judicial efforts, the interrelationship of these with core international bodies, examining apparent duplications, overlaps and who loses out in the fight for global attention.
