In the afternoon of the 7th November a consultation of the United Against Inhumanity (UAI) initiative will take place. The aim of the consultation is to review the rationale and objectives of UAI and gather the reactions and feedback from professionals and academics coming from various sectors and organizations. UAI aims to mobilize a global movement to increase the reputational damage for states and non-state actors perpetrating or facilitating crimes against humanity and failing to meet their responsibilities under IHL and refugee law.
