In Honour of Hrant Dink

This event marked the 19th anniversary of the assassination of Hrant Dink, the Armenian-Turkish editor of the newspaper Agos and a courageous human rights advocate. His writings, TV appearances and public speaking in various countries powerfully challenged nationalist narratives. He was murdered in broad daylight on January 19, 2007. Although an Istanbul court issued multiple life sentences last year, the verdict still falls short for Dink’s family, who continue to seek closure. Meanwhile, the Hrant Dink Foundation carries forward his international legacy by promoting equal rights, dialogue, and democratic values across communities. We honoured Hrant Dink’s life and ideals at our annual commemoration, marked this year by a lecture by the renowned professor of international law William A. Schabas, author of the reference title Genocide in International Law. There are hearings underway before the International Court of Justice concerning charges of genocide committed in Myanmar. This is the first of four such cases filed pursuant to the Genocide Convention of 1948. Some 80 years after its adoption, the Convention finds itself at the centre stage of debates about international law, and at a time when some say that the existence of international law itself is threatened. The talk reviewed the latest developments in the law governing genocide, the consequences for the future, but also for the past.
