Struggle for Justice: Russian War Crimes in Court
How can Russian war crimes and human rights violations be legally prosecuted? This lecture by the Institute for Eastern Law will address the legal and social questions surrounding international prosecution, evidence collection, and justice on September 29, 2026, in Regensburg.
International Law Between Aspirations and Reality
The focus is on which courts are competent for serious crimes and what avenues are open to victims and their families. The topic touches on central areas of international law, human rights, and international criminal justice.
Documentation and Evidence as the Basis
Systematic documentation of witness statements and evidence plays a crucial role for later court proceedings. German courts can also prosecute international crimes under certain conditions. The principle of universal jurisdiction allows for prosecution regardless of where a crime was committed.
An Evening for Discussion and Exchange
The event offers space for a factual engagement with a highly relevant topic. The concentrated atmosphere in the Theresia Cultural Center creates the right framework for questions about responsibility, the rule of law, and the limits of international justice.
Conclusion
The lecture combines legal classification with the urgent question of how justice can be achieved after severe human rights violations. Anyone interested in international law, international prosecution, and the political consequences of the war in Ukraine will experience an informative evening of social relevance.
