DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Law welcomes His Excellency Christian Wenaweser 
 for the 2017 Proulx Roundtable Conference.\n\nSyria has become the biggest
  humanitarian crisis of our time. Millions of refugees have fled the war\,
  and tens of thousands have become victims of crimes against humanity comm
 itted by the Syrian Government.  The so-called 'Islamic State' has also co
 mmitted genocide and other crimes against minority groups such as the Yazi
 di Kurds in neighbouring Iraq. Yet despite widespread outrage at these atr
 ocities\, the international community has done little to hold the perpetra
 tors accountable.\n\nThe search for justice in Syria has been elusive\, bu
 t it remains a vital ingredient of a sustainable peace in the region. Give
 n the political constraints within the UN\, what justice can we realistica
 lly achieve for the people of Syria? \n\nKeynote speaker:\n\nAmbassador Ch
 ristian Wenaweser\, Representative of Liechtenstein to the United Nations 
 and former President of the International Criminal Court Assembly of State
 s Parties\, will discuss the UN’s new International\, Impartial and Indepe
 ndent Mechanism to investigate these atrocities\, and other initiatives fo
 r justice in Syria.\n\nHe will be joined by a roundtable consisting of:\n
 \n\n	Betsy Apple: Advocacy Director for the Open Society Justice Initiative
 \n	Fannie Lafontaine: Professor of Human Rights law at Laval University\n	Sa
 rwat Bashi: McGill O'Brien Fellow and Syrian human rights activist\n	Barzan

 ist\n\n\nWith Introductory remarks by former UN prosecutor Professor Payam
  Akhavan and former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of Canada Pro
 fessor Irwin Cotler.\n\nThe Michel Proulx Memorial Lecture Fund\n\nThe Mic
