SUMMER SCHOOLS AT THE IRISH CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Each year, the Irish Centre for Human Rights offers two highly acclaimed summer school programmes on Minority Rights, Indigenous Peoples & Human Rights Law and the International Criminal Court.

The week-long summer school programmes offer participants a unique chance to immerse themselves in two increasingly important areas of international criminal law and international human rights law, and to benefit from the knowledge of an unrivalled panel of experts. Each of the intensive programmes 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 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 specialist 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.
