The challenge of justice in transnational contexts of human rights violations: reflections on the case of Giulio Regeni

In this lecture, Dr Antonio Marchesi, Professor of Law at Università di Teramo and President of Amnesty International’s Italy section will reflect on the implications of Giulio Regeni’s case for efforts to secure justice for victims of human rights violations in a transnational context and share his experience as a human rights practitioner from leading Amnesty International Italy’s campaign (“Verità per Giulio”) which has combined a variety of methods including media work, public meetings, collecting signatures, hanging yellow banners on public and private buildings, lobbying while building a broad-based alliance of key individuals including Giulio’s parents, with journalists, MPs and civil society organisations to draw attention not only to Giulio’s own case but also other human rights violations in Egypt.
