In a world where conflicts are multiplying and impunity is on the rise; international justice remains one of the few safeguards to protect the most vulnerable and ensure societal stability. Alain Werner, Ashoka Fellow and founder of Civitas Maxima, has dedicated his life to this mission: documenting the crimes and supporting victims in their pursuit of truth.
His work shows that justice is not only about punishment; it is a tool for integration and reconstruction. It gives a voice back to those silenced and prevents violence from becoming the norm. Yet today, this system is under threat from geopolitical crises, weakened institutions, and the rise of authoritarian regimes.
Join us for an inspiring conversation where Alain will share:
- Why justice is essential for peace and social cohesion.
- How international mechanisms can withstand political pressure.
- What each of us can do to defend the rule of law in times of uncertainty.
