John Balouziyeh will be speaking at a conference on sanctions and universal jurisdiction jointly hosted by King’s College London and the War Crimes Committee of the International Bar Association in London on Tuesday, 27 June. The conference will focus on mechanisms under international law, including sanctions and terrorist designations in conflicts, both international (UN) and unilateral/regional (US/UK/EU), and the repercussions on peace processes and post-conflict reconciliation efforts.

The conference will bring together prominent experts and lawyers engaged in peace and accountability efforts as they examine the conflicts in Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan.
