summer schools

The Irish Centre for Human Rights offers three summer school programmes for 2013 on: the International Criminal Court; Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy; and Human Rights, Migration and Globalization.

Each year, the Irish Centre for Human Rights offers two highly acclaimed summer school programmes on the International Criminal Court and on Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy. Each of these intensive programmes offers participants a chance to immerse themselves in their subject matter and to benefit from the knowledge of an unrivalled panel of experts. Each programme also includes a variety of social activities that allow participants to network with each other and the panel in a relaxed and friendly environment ensuring that the summer schools are both instructive and enjoyable.

The Irish Centre for Human Rights will hold its inaugural Summer School on Human Rights, Migration and Globalization from 8 to 12 July 2013. The School is open to practitioners, journalists, NGOs, and students interested in the contemporary challenges of migration and human rights protection.

Until 2011, the Irish Centre for Human Rights  also hosted an annual summer school on the subject of Minority Rights, Indigenous People and Human Rights Law. This programme is now based at Middlesex University.

The Summer School on the International Criminal Court offered by the Irish Centre for Human Rights is widely acknowledged to be the premier programme of its kind and this year's course promises to be the most exciting yet!  During the five days of intensive lectures, delivered by leading specialists in the field, students are provided with a detailed working knowledge of the establishment of the Court, its applicable law, its structures and its operations. Lectures also speak to related issues in international criminal law, including: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, the crime of aggression, universal jurisdiction, immunities, and the role of the victims.

The International Criminal Court is arguably the most important new international institution since the establishment of the United Nations. The aim of the International Criminal Court is in combating impunity for atrocities and it is at the forefront of a broader movement for achieving accountability.

The week-long programme also includes a variety of social activities that allow participants to network with each other and the panel in a relaxed and friendly environment, ensuring the programmes are instructive and enjoyable.

The 2013 ICC Summer School will take place from 17 to 21 June 2013. A provisional programme for the 2013 ICC Summer School is available here.
