This ICTY Outreach produced documentary depicts the Tribunal’s historic role in the prosecution of wartime sexual violence. It explores the investigation and adjudication of the pioneering cases that played a major role in developing jurisprudence on wartime sexual violence, and portrays the courage of the survivors of sexual violence who testified in the Tribunal’s trials. With the participation of ICTY judges and senior staff, both past and present, as well as assorted witness testimonies, the film will be a lasting reminder of the pioneering steps that the Tribunal has taken to punish those responsible and to bring these grave crimes to attention of the international community and the people of the region of the former Yugoslavia.
The public screening will be followed by expert panel discussion between Elena Martin Selgado, Legal Officer and Appeals Counsel at the ICTY’s Office of the Prosecutor; Gordana Duvnjak, Open Society Institute Macedonia Executive Board Chairperson; Uranija Pirovska, Executive Director of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights Macedonia, Kim Mehmeti, writer and political analyst (Skopje) and Snezana Lupevska, journalist and producer (Tetovo).
