<strong>TRIAL</strong> <strong>POSTER</strong> <strong>DESIGN</strong> <strong>CONTEST</strong> « <strong>NO</strong> <strong>MORE</strong> <strong>IMPUNITY</strong> »<br />
A poster about the fight against impunity of the most serious crimes (crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, war<br />
crimes), under the slogan “<strong>NO</strong> <strong>MORE</strong> <strong>IMPUNITY</strong>”. That's what <strong>TRIAL</strong> wants from you, as the organization is celebrating<br />
its ten years anniversary and wants to raise awareness among the public about the fight against impunity.<br />
Deadline for entries is (extended to) November 5, 2012.<br />
Context<br />
Every day, atrocities are perpetrated against civilians and protected people. Torture, massacres, enforced<br />
disappearances, enrolment of child soldiers, etc. These heinous acts are considered crimes under international law.<br />
However, victims face great difficulties to obtain justice and their perpetrators are rarely held to account.<br />
This has to change!<br />
Help us draw the world's attention to the fight against impunity by designing a poster under the slogan “<strong>NO</strong> <strong>MORE</strong><br />
<strong>IMPUNITY</strong>”. Send your creation(s) along with your name and address at postercontest@trial-ch.org.<br />
The 10 favourites will be featured on our website, shown at the occasion of various events and the top three winners will<br />
receive cash prizes.<br />

About <strong>TRIAL</strong><br />
<strong>TRIAL</strong> (Swiss association against impunity) is a tax-exempt association under Swiss law based in Geneva. It is apolitical<br />
and non-confessional and has consultative status before the United Nations Economic and Social Council.<br />
Comprising lawyers, NGO leaders and victims, the association was founded in 2002, right at the moment when the<br />
Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court entered into force and four years after the arrest of General<br />
Pinochet in London, which had inspired the founders of the NGO.<br />
The main objective of <strong>TRIAL</strong> is to put the law at the service of the victims of international crimes (genocide, crimes<br />
against humanity, war crimes, torture and forced disappearances).<br />
