Dear Friends of the Committee,
The start of 2025 offers fresh opportunities for innovation and collaboration. As we look ahead, we reflect on the milestones that have set our foundation for the future.
In 2024, the House of Delegates unanimously adopted two pivotal resolutions. Resolution 501, addressing the genocide of the Hazara people in Afghanistan, originated from our Co-Chairs’ groundbreaking white paper, Broken Frame, Shattered Glass: Recognizing Crimes Perpetrated Against the Hazaras of Afghanistan — the first such initiative in the International Law Section’s history. Resolution 502 called for international action on human rights violations in Tibet, further establishing ICLC’s role in shaping global policy.
Our 2024 programming covered essential ground, from the Kurdish genocides to transitional justice after the Pinochet regime, a two-part series on mass graves, and our innovative Blue Crimes webinar series examining crimes against aquatic ecosystems. Our award-winning International Criminal Law Committee Newsletter continues to set standards for excellence in the Section.
Building on these achievements, the Committee looks ahead to another year of pioneering the future of international criminal law. Please join us!
Best regards,
Tim Franklin
