Greenhill, Accra
March 17 & 18, 2016 at the Executive Conference Center at GIMPA, located in Greenhill, Accra
The Faculty of Law at GIMPA is pleased to be able to host the conference on international criminal justice at this epochal era in the life of that regime. The annual conferences present an opportunity to gather a community of scholars and academics, experts, and practitioners to critically review trends, emerging developments and challenges confronting the law in specific fields. As a school, we are convinced that the platform of a conference presents an opportunity to network in our thinking, works and strategizing as we plot to overcome existing challenges and nascent obstacles. This year’s thematic focus on international criminal justice reflects the growing importance and need to address the core barriers in the way of its development. I look forward to welcoming you to the serene Greenhill campus for a fruitful deliberation. - Dean Kofi Abotsi

The visual and spoken testimony of activists and journalists has the power to enrich our understanding of other countries, cultures, and peoples. It also documents groups at risk when there is still time for the world to act. With its mandate to alert the national conscience to genocide and crimes against humanity, the Museum relies on the evidence these professionals collect to bring to light stories of destruction and devastation. Join us for a discussion with those who put themselves in harm’s way to bear witness to mass atrocities.
This event will take place at University of Miami Hillel at 19:00 on the 10th of February, 2016.
