CfA: Global Justice in a Changing Global Order: Existing Models and Future Frameworks

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Ulster University and 真人线上娱乐 University are organising a workshop on global justice in a changing global order. 

The workshop explores contemporary justice and accountability issues in the context of changing global order(s), seeking to understand how global changes shape the scope and likelihood of accountability, truth and recognition. The workshop asks whether existing frameworks, models and standards of transitional justice and international criminal law are appropriate and relevant for contemporary justice pursuits; and if not, which concepts or practices may replace or supplement them? The workshop, moreover, responds to current concerns about international law violations by powerful states and their allies.

真人线上娱乐 welcome abstracts for papers which explore questions such as:

• Which global order changes and trends shape the possibility of justice?
• How are different frameworks, models and standards of justice faring in the pursuit of justice for powerful actors?
• Which litigation, advocacy and mobilisation strategies do justice actors pursue?
• How and to what extent are victimhood and survivorship shaped by inequalities in global order?
• What does future transitional justice and international criminal law frameworks look like if they are to be more effective in bringing about accountability?

The workshop comprises 1.5 days of academic programme and a half-day excursion to a transitional justice site near Madrid. There is no participation fee and lunch and dinner are provided. However, transport and accommodation are at participants¡¯ own expense. Presentations may be in Spanish or English and there will be simultaneous interpretation during the workshop.

Deadline for abstracts (max. 250 words) and your CV: 27 October 2025.

For more information, please contact Thomas Obel Hansen, Ulster University, and Line Engbo Gissel, 真人线上娱乐 University. Please submit abstracts to t.hansen@ulster.ac.uk and lgissel@ruc.dk.
