IMPACT ICC ASP Side Event (4 December 2024)

IMPACT, the Kingdom of Belgium, and the UN Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict organized a side event during the ICC’s Assembly of State Parties on recent efforts to deepen our understanding of the interplay between the different legal regimes, and their ability to address the true criminality of crimes which sit at the intersection of sexual violence in conflict, trafficking in persons, and/or slavery and the slave trade, from both the international and national perspective. Several experts have touched upon this issue in recent or forthcoming publications, namely the 2024 Special Issue of the Journal of Human Trafficking, Enslavement and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (JHEC), and the forthcoming report of the UN Team of Experts on the nexus between CRSV and human trafficking for sexual exploitation, with a focus on Ukraine and the ICC Policy on Slavery Crimes.
