TRIAL International is partnering with the NGO WITNESS to offer an exclusive training in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): using video to prosecute international crimes. TRIAL International’s mission is to fight for justice when international crimes are committed, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, enforced disappearance, sexual violence and extrajudicial execution. TRIAL International relies on the existing legal framework and is convinced that a judicious yet imaginative use of the law can be a formidable means of dealing with individual cases and bringing about structural change. The NGO also puts the law at the service of the victims of international crimes and works to ensure that the perpetrators of these crimes are brought to justice.
Below we join a Q&A with Daniele Perissi, Head of TRIAL DRC program, Kelly Matheson, Senior Attorney and Program Manager at WITNESS, and Nanjala Nyabola, Africa Program Manager at WITNESS.
