With the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, international criminal justice is back in the headlines. It had its golden age 30 years ago with the creation of international tribunals. Today, international justice procedures have become more complex, including non-judicial mechanisms for truth-seeking and reparation. They are constantly evolving, and it is up to the media to help people understand them.

These questions are explored in depth in the twelfth issue of our biannual publication, "Mediation", which you can leaf through or download above, with interviews and testimonies from journalists and researchers, as well as figures and maps to fuel reflection and action.
