The Justice System: Power, Violence and Responsibility of Civil Society

Thursday, 19 July 2018: 14:00-15:20
Location: Constitution Hall (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)

Language: English

This plenary focuses on "the justice system".  Speakers will outline the idea of justice embedded in their work and speak about the ways in which state and non state institutional processes inhibit/enhance possibilities of justice.  At the core, what is "the justice system" in different contexts? How does this speak to different strands of resistance and what are the specific ways in which it might imbibe the reasonings emanating from "civil society" - and what are the ways in which power (in what forms?) inhibits justice. Speakers will open out the theme of the plenary with reference to their work and contexts - and trace the connections with other societies and other historical moments.
