The event proposes an analysis of the capacity of the Ukrainian legal system to provide access to justice for people living in uncontrolled territories of the Donbass region and effectively investigate and prosecute perpetrators of crimes committed during the armed conflict and the release of political prisoners. It also also explores other avenues for accountability at other national, regional and international level, including the International Criminal Court (ICC). The event gives the floor to field actors, representatives of NGOs and human rights activists from Russia, Ukraine, and international experts and activists, including from European countries involved in restoring peace and in the fight against impunity for international crimes committed in Donbass.
