The Organisation of the International Conference invites the submission of communication proposals to be framed within one of the following areas of interest (or another, related to the proposals):
  • Historical perspectives on crimes related to periods of war.
  • Legal frameworks, international humanitarian law and international criminal law.
  • Prosecution and accountability mechanisms.

  • Post-conflict reconciliation and transitional justice.
  • War, victims and offenders.
  • Media representations and public perceptions of war-related crimes.
  • Memory and post-memory of war crimes.
