Iran: Can International Law Deliver Justice? | Achille Campagna | Episode 40

What can international law offer victims of atrocities in Iran—and what stands in the way of accountability? In Episode 40 of the Tuesdays Against Execution Podcast, Prof. Dr. Antonietta welcomes Achille Campagna, founder of Campagna Law Firm in San Marino and a lawyer admitted to the International Criminal Court’s List of Counsel. Dedicated to the fourth anniversary of Iran’s 2022 nationwide protests following the death of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, this episode connects the ongoing struggle against executions with the pursuit of justice beyond Iran’s borders. Drawing on his experience representing victims in Ukraine, Campagna explores the possibilities and limitations of international legal action. In this conversation: • The limits of international law in responding to atrocities • Immunity and the obstacles to holding perpetrators accountable • Universal jurisdiction and the challenges of putting it into practice • Compensation claims as a possible complement to criminal proceedings • The difficulties of enforcing judgments and securing meaningful redress • Lessons from Ukraine for the pursuit of justice in Iran As the Tuesdays Against Execution campaign continues in 62 Iranian prisons, we ask how international legal efforts can support the demand for accountability.
