Mark your calendars! The 2026 Gender Justice in International Criminal Law Conference will take place on the 6th and 7th of October, in person in The Hague, and online. More details and registration to follow.
The annual Gender Justice in International Criminal Law Conference is part of the commitment of the Gender Justice Practitioner Hub to facilitating strategic and practitioner-oriented discussions to strengthen gender justice outcomes for conflict-related crimes.
This year’s focus turns to Asia, with sessions being planned on Afghanistan, Iran, and Myanmar along with a range of topic-based discussions on issues at the cutting edge of international criminal law practice. GJP Hub looks forward to collaborating with existing and new partners to ensure the Conference dialogue and regional follow-up action is driven by the perspectives and voices of those directly affected.
The 2026 Conference builds on the momentum generated during the 2025 Gender Justice in International Criminal Law Conference. Over two days in September 2025, fifty-six speakers from across the globe led discussions on pressing gender justice issues including: solidarity in the face of attacks on gender justice; accountability in the MENA region, including Palestine and Syria; reproductive violence as a strategy of genocide; gender-sensitive institution building; and next-generation strategies in the international criminal law field.
The 2025 Conference report captures the key insights, strategic conclusions, and concrete commitments that emerged, including the urgent need to move from rhetoric to operational solidarity, and from normative commitments to practitioner-driven action.
