Guest Speaker: Kathya Dawe is an international human rights lawyer, criminal defense attorney, and professor of International Human Rights. She serves as an International Human Rights Advisor at Santos Lloyd Law Immigration Firm and is President of Citizens for Global Solutions–Minnesota. Kathya previously worked at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, gaining firsthand experience with international criminal justice and accountability mechanisms. She teaches at the University of St. Thomas and regularly engages in public education on international tribunals, accountability for international crimes, migration, and other contemporary human rights challenges, making complex legal frameworks accessible and relevant to diverse audiences.

Description: This presentation explores how international tribunals—from the Nuremberg Trials to contemporary courts—hold individuals accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Moving beyond courtrooms and legal doctrine, the conversation examines when and how individuals can be held personally responsible under international law, why accountability matters for global peace and human dignity, and how these mechanisms affect the lives of ordinary people far from the conflicts themselves. Drawing on foundational instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions, the session invites critical reflection on the role of international justice in shaping a safer, more lawful world.
