International Day of Commemoration to Honour Holocaust Victims

Center of International Criminal Law and International Cooperation in Criminal Matters at TSU International Law Institute will host academic conference commemorating the International Day to Honour Holocaust Victims on 27 January, 2018.

The conference takes place as a part of the educational programme that the UN Member States are urged to develop to instill the memory of the tragedy in future generations to prevent genocide from occurring again.

TSU International Law Institute within its International Criminal Law dimension leads teaching and research on a variety of international criminal law practical aspects, including condemning without reserve all manifestations of religious intolerance, incitement, harassment or violence against persons or communities based on ethnic origin or religious belief, whenever they occur.
