Africa’s Call for Justice: Recognizing All Apartheid Victims
Loading player...
Hosted by Samm Marshall, The Social Impact Show dives into one of the most powerful and complex conversations in international law — accountability for the crime of apartheid.
At the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights in Banjul, The Gambia, advocates and legal experts from South Africa, Namibia, and Palestine are calling for a stronger global treaty that ensures all apartheid victims are recognised and protected under international law.
Joining the conversation is Professor Lisa Davis, Senior Associate Dean of Clinical Programs and Co-Director of the Human Rights & Gender Justice Clinic at CUNY School of Law, and Special Adviser on Gender and Other Discriminatory Crimes to the International Criminal Court.
Together, we unpack:
How apartheid is defined under international law and why that matters today.
Why the UN Draft Treaty on Crimes Against Humanity could reshape global accountability.
Lessons from South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation process.
The gendered dimensions of apartheid and the politics of impunity.
What a modernized definition of apartheid could mean for the future of human rights.
🎧 A compelling conversation about justice, inclusion, and Africa’s leadership in shaping international law.
