International Criminal Court Summer School – Galway 17-21 June 2013
My former employer, the Irish Centre for Human Rights (National University of Ireland, Galway), will hold its annual International Criminal Court (ICC) Summer School on 17-21 June 2013 and, just like last year, I will give a couple of lectures. The Summer School gives participants the opportunity to attend a series of intensive lectures over five days. The lectures are given by leading academics on the subject and by legal professionals working at the International Criminal Court. The Summer School is attended by legal professionals, academics, postgraduate students and NGO representatives.
Participants are provided with a detailed working knowledge of the establishment of the Court, its structure and operations, and the applicable law. Participants are also given the opportunity to network with the speakers throughout the week. Lectures also speak to related issues in international criminal law, including: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, the crime of aggression, universal jurisdiction, immunities, the role of victims, and corporate liability.
Since corporations do not fall under the ICC’s jurisdiction (limited to individuals under Article 23 of the ICC Statute ), I will be lecturing on wider issues of “Corporate Liability for International Crimes“.

Professor William Schabas- Irish Centre for Human Rights, School of Law, NUI Galway and School of Law, Middlesex University
