Amsterdam Law School’s Global Justice Session organised for the second time at The Hague’s Asser Institute

Published 31 October 2025

Yesterday, the T.M.C. Asser Instituut and the Amsterdam Law School (ALS) co-organised a new Global Justice Session (GJS) in The Hague, further strengthening the educational links between the two organisations.  

Yesterday’s session, taking place a few months after the first session in May and bringing some fifty students from the master international and transnational criminal law from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to the legal capital of the world, consisted of two parts: a career panel at the Asser Institute featuring presentations by and a Q&A session with Asser researchers in international criminal law, and study visits to the International Criminal Court and the Kosovo Specialist Chambers.  

“Organising a second ALS GJS in The Hague, this time also including practical study visits to international(ised) criminal tribunals, constitutes yet another step in our increasingly strong cooperation”, said Christophe Paulussen, senior researcher and organiser of the event from the side of the Asser Institute. “Our long-lasting connection to other organisations based in the international city of peace and justice enables students to engage not only with academics and the law in the books, but also with practitioners and the law in action.” 

“We were glad to organise a second GJS in collaboration with the Asser Institute”, said Maxine van Ekelenburg, lecturer and organiser from the side of the UvA. “Our students were interested to learn about the career opportunities within practice and academia. The career panel at the Institute was a great opportunity for the students to hear about the different career trajectories possible within the field of international criminal law and provided them with valuable insights for their future careers.”
