| War Crimes, Memory, and Justice: Italy’s Judicial Experience and Contemporary International Humanitarian Law
What does justice mean more than eighty years after the end of the Second World War? Marco De Paolis, Military Prosecutor of the Republic at the Military Tribunal of Rome, will explore Italy’s prosecution of Nazi and Fascist war crimes and its relevance to contemporary international humanitarian law. Drawing on his extensive experience, he will discuss accountability, the role of victims and their families, and the duty to refuse manifestly criminal orders. The conversation will also address the meaning of trials held decades after the crimes: how can delayed justice establish individual responsibility, preserve historical memory, and offer recognition to victims? An opportunity to reflect on questions that remain central to today’s international debates on war crimes and justice. The event will be held in Italian
