Unique Opportunity to get involved: 1st International Symposium on Restorative Justice & Human Rights


At a critical point in time for Greece, UK and Europe, three key organisations are bringing together leading international experts in the field of human rights and restorative justice to explore new avenues to deal with growing levels of violence. The symposium is organised under the leadership of Prof. Theo Gavrielides and Prof. Vasso Artinopoulou.
The event is formatted as an ancient Greek symposium, allowing for in-depth discussions on papers that will be published as part of an edited volume by the Canada-based De Sitter Publications.
This high profile, focused, scientific and interdisciplinary event will influence and promote restorative justice and human rights issues in academia, research and policy areas internationally. A more holistic approach to the rising levels of criminality, riots and human rights abuses is needed. 
Some of the international experts joining the symposium include: Prof. Brenda Morrison, Simon Fraser University (Canada), Prof. Gerry Johnstone, Hull University (UK), Prof. Susan Sharpe, Notre Dame Law School (USA), Prof. Martha Schiff, Florda Atlantic University (USA), Prof. John Winterdyk, Mount Royal University (Canada). More detailed information on the Symposium and the other delegates can be found here.
