In this conference hosted by the Strategic Litigation Project and the Eurasia Center, experts will identify strategies to halt Russia’s campaign of atrocities against the Ukrainian people.
On Wednesday, November 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Strategic Litigation Project and Eurasia Centerwill co-host the conference “Intent to destroy: confronting Russia’s campaign to erase Ukraine and its people.” The conference is organized by International Partnership for Human Rights, the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School, New Lines Institute, and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security.
Since the outset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, experts across law, policy, and academia have consistently raised alarm over the Kremlin’s genocidal rhetoric and escalating atrocities. Three-and-a-half years into the full-scale invasion, evidence of mass killings, torture, sexual violence, mass deportation of children and shelling of vital civilian infrastructure is overwhelming. Eliminationist intent, moreover, is increasingly demonstrable. With peace negotiations stalled and Russian offensives against Ukraine’s civilian and critical energy infrastructure intensifying ahead of the winter, it is time for the international community to examine the moral, legal, and policy implications of Russia’s actions through the lens of genocide.
Join us as leading international lawyers, historians, policymakers, security experts, and diplomats identify tangible legal, political, and diplomatic strategies to halt Russia’s campaign to erase Ukraine and its people.
The conference will be livestreamed on Youtube.
