Children's Rights, Crimes Against Humanity and Access to Justice: Research, Practice and Experience
Join us for the next edition in the Fireside Peace Chats (FPC) series, titled “Children's Rights, Crimes Against Humanity and Access to Justice: Research, Practice and Experience”. This edition takes place with a children’s rights defender and current Shelter City guest. This speaker has a decade of working with children in vulnerable situations and contributes to leading organisations in project implementation and coordination. During her stay with Shelter City, our guest will be researching the accessibility of legal mechanisms for children and young victims of crimes against humanity, focusing on child-friendly practices, availability of trained practitioners, and on-the-ground support. In this edition of FPC, we will explore the practical intricacies of international accountability mechanisms for children victims, highlighting a people-centred approach, lived experiences, and practical challenges.
This edition of FPC is a collaboration with Justice&Peace Netherland’s Shelter City initiative. Shelter City is a global movement of cities, organizations and people who stand side by side with human rights defenders at risk. Shelter City programs offer them a safe and inspiring space where they re-energize, receive tailormade support and engage with allies to reinforce their local actions for change. As such, we will take measures to protect the security of our guest speaker. During this FPC, we will have a no photo policy and we ask that event attendees do not share information about the guest.

More about Fireside Peace Chats
The Fireside Peace Chats series is an event series consisting of informal, intimate chats with peacebuilders who have either lived in for an extended period of time or are from conflict-affected environments. Fireside Peace Chats are a joint initiative of Leiden University College The Hague (LUC), Knowledge Platform for Security and Rule of the Law (KPSRL), and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH), with an aim to open a space where practice, research and policy in peacebuilding come together in an informal way, through experience of people on the ground. This initiative aims to contribute to a locally informed paradigm shift in liberal peacebuilding.
