Taking inspiration from Osiatyński’s words, this conference will consider the meaning of solidarity and its role in creating an affirmative agenda for responding to the challenges facing the human rights movement in the 21st century. The conference will begin with a high level discussion of current threats to solidarity in human rights work, followed by panels designed to consider these issues in historical perspective as well as addressing the particular challenges in areas such as international criminal law and economic justice.

The Human Rights Institute, Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, and other programs at UConn will host a symposium on the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, culminating in an exclusive preview and post-show discussion of Rob Miller and Henry Singer’s documentary, The Trial of Ratko Mladić (2018). The symposium brings together varied stakeholders, scholars, and experts to consider the past, present and future of international justice, examining the ICTY as an exemplar of the possibilities and limits of the quest for justice in the face of crimes against humanity and genocide.
