Public lecture held by Professor Roger O'Keefe. He will reflect on the opportunities and risks presented by recourse to the discursive and institutional frameworks of international criminal justice as a reflex response to an interstate or intrastate crisis, like the one in Ukraine, involving allegations of the commission of international crimes.
