Clinical legal education

The ACCJ members coordinate and/or supervise projects in the framework of the Amsterdam Law Clinics, including the Criminal Justice Clinic, the Fair Trials Clinic, and the Business and Human Rights Clinic. 

Criminal Justice Clinic: Current Projects

In the first semester 24-25, together with Prakken d'Oliveira Human Rights, the Criminal Justice Clinic is conducting research on the international crime of "the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgement pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all judicial guarantees which are generally recognized as indispensable."(article 8.2 under c ICC Statute). The research focuses on jurisprudence from international tribunals, as well as (European or other) national courts in regard to this crime and will address the question what 'judicial guarantees which are generally recognized as indispensable' constitutes, and how this relates to non-Western forms of dispute resolution. 

In addition, this Clinic is carrying out research to assist a local NGO with submitting requests for Dutch citizens detained in Panama in relation to post-conviction procedures.
