About the event:

The African Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice (ACTCJ), University of the Western Cape, in collaboration with the Faculty of Law, North-West University, will host a three-day conference to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Rwandan genocide.

The purpose of the conference is to, among other things, bring experts together to interrogate the extent to which the Rwanda genocide was a turning point in humanity’s struggle against mass atrocities and the will of the international community to live up to its lifelong-eternal promise of "Never Again" not only with regards to Africa but to every corner of the earth.

Drawing on Rwanda, the conference will assess the impact of the legal and institutional developments, the successes and failures of the response(s) to genocides in Africa and other parts of the globe, the progress made and what probably lies ahead.
