The International Nuremberg Principles Academy organized its Nuremberg Forum 2018, the major annual conference held in Courtroom 600 at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, Nuremberg, Germany on 19 and 20 October 2018.
The Nuremberg Forum 2018, entitled "20th Anniversary of the Rome Statute: Law, Justice and Politics", paid tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Rome Statute and critically evaluated the past 20 years while also looking at the next 20 years in terms of practice and the ever-changing landscape of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has seen many “firsts” in the last 20 years in terms of law, procedure and practice. The conference offered a specific focus while addressing important challenges and critiques that have remained unresolved or have newly emerged in the context of the permanent court.
