Today, Commissioner Jourová is participating in a conference marking the EU Day against Impunity for serious international crimes (crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes), organised by the Maltese Presidency, Eurojust and the Commission. On this occasion, she said: " We have to make sure that justice is served in cases of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Impunity is not an option. People who were deprived from their dignity and suffered unimaginable crimes deserve to see these criminals condemned." The aim of this day is to raise awareness about these crimes and to improve their prosecution within the EU. While the prosecution of these crimes lies primarily with Member States and, as a last resort, international tribunals (e.g. the International Court of Justice), the Commission supports national authorities through the Eurojust, the Genocide Network hosted by Eurojust, Europol, and the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN).
