Violence and Justice: Justice in Times of War and Emergency | Intersections of the Peripheries

The erosion of political institutions in different parts of the world, from the Global South to developed nation-states, provokes new questions about fairness and justice among the citizens, as well as within international institutions. Destructive crises — wars, repressions, genocides, hurricanes etc. — almost always demand from national states an implementation of emergency state. That’s when the rights are restrained, and revised, so it gets difficult to distinguish whether it exists or not. Nevertheless, it all happens within wavering international justice mechanisms, when establishing justice depends on the political and economic interests of hegemonic states. The first panel of our conference is dedicated to these processes and how to deal with the gap between the demand for justice and justice systems in societies, affected by war and military conflicts. Speakers: Gorana Mlinarević, human rights defender, researcher on post-war issues and experiences affecting women, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Elia J. Ayoub, a researcher, writer, journalist, a founder of The Fire These Times podcast as well as co-founder of From The Periphery Media Collective. Oksana Pokalchuk, human rights activist, lawyer, former head of international human rights organization Amnesty International Ukraine, Ukraine. Kiran Grewal, human rights defender, professor of sociology at Goldsmiths University, India/Sri Lanka. The discussion is moderated by a researcher of the Ukrainian Centre of Law and Crime Research and editor of “Commons” Mariia Sokolova.
