The 7th edition of the Lemkin Reunion, which gathers academics and policymakers dealing with war and atrocity crimes, took place on June 3-4 at CEU’s Shattuck Center for Human Rights. This year the workshop was titled “Healing Ukraine: Post-conflict Management and Human Rights” and aimed to discuss a human rights-informed rebuilding architecture in Ukraine.

Their contribution focused on pathways and perspectives for building resilient, inclusive society during and after the war.
Such contribution will also feature into a volume edited by Dr Martin Kahanec, Prof. Kirsten Roberts Lyer and Dr. Felix Butzlaff covering wide range of topics related to the rebuilding human rights architecture in Ukraine post-conflict.
