Are you a career professional seeking to deepen your understanding of how international courts and tribunals in The Hague interact with contemporary challenges?
Alarmist declarations of the erosion of international law, and the ‘rules-based order’, pepper the news. Yet, states and non-state actors continue to turn to international legal institutions and adjudicative mechanisms to pursue peace and justice. International law continues to be invoked, interpreted and applied in response to conflicts and crises that stretch beyond territorial lines, and carry global implications.
Drawing from expertise in The Hague and across its international network, the Asser Institute is hosting an accelerated course for lawyers, judges, diplomats, policy makers, and academics to deepen theoretical and practical understandings of how contemporary global legal and policy issues are addressed by international dispute settlement bodies.
Delve into impactful key cases and current developments shaping international law and politics today.
This short course provides participants with:
- A practical understanding of the mandate and institutional practices of international courts and tribunals in The Hague.
- An overview of legal developments in light of recent, key cases, highlighting their relevance for domestic policy, legislation and judicial mechanisms.
- The opportunity to engage in informed discussions as to key takeaways for the domestic application of recent international legal developments.
- A packed curriculum including topics such as: Erga Omnes (Partes) Obligations, Advisory Opinions by the ICJ, Climate Litigation, and Immunity of State Officials.
- The opportunity to network with key experts, practitioners and fellow participants active in the field.
By the end of the accelerated course, participants will have engaged with fundamental issues at the intersection of theory and practice and will have engaged with diverging perspectives in current debates. The course will deepen participant’s knowledge of recent proceedings before the ICJ and the ICC, amongst other things, and be able to connect their relevance to domestic policy, legislation and judicial mechanisms.
After the successful completion of this programme, you will receive a professional certificate from the T.M.C. Asser Instituut.
