This conference is part of a collective discussion focused on the necessity of adjudication in contemporary societies, particularly in contexts marked by mass violence, conflict, or political transitions.

Bringing together researchers from various disciplines, including law, history, neuroscience, and philosophy, this event is supported by the collaboration of several research laboratories and thus offers a multidisciplinary approach  to issues related to justice.

It brings together theoretical perspectives and practical experiences, drawing on both national and international viewpoints.

Through the study of various contexts—ranging from the emergence of international criminal justice to alternative forms of justice, including the difficulties, or even the impossibility, of adjudication—the conference examines the functions of judgment.

The aim is thus to gain a better understanding of the role of the law and judicial institutions in post-conflict processes, but also to explore the contributions of other disciplines—particularly neuroscience—to the analysis of the effects of trials on individuals and societies.

This project is therefore fully aligned with contemporary thinking on the conditions for building lasting peace, as it examines the links between justice, memory, and reconciliation.
