Date: November 25 2009 Organisatior: International Criminal Law Network On Wednesday 25th November 2009, the International Criminal Law Network invites you to the Fall Lecture at Wladimiroff & Waling law firm in The Hague. During this lecture we will discuss the following topic: "The presumption of innocence and its best friends" What does this mean and where does this leads to? Is the presumption at risk of being left behind in a rush to do things faster? The reality of cases and processes in international criminal law that test the underlying philosophy, and the associated rights and obligations and other best friends that make up the jigsaw puzzle of the fair trial process. On this topic, we will be honored to hear the comments of: Judge Howard Morrison Judge of the ICTY since August 31, 2009 Member of the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Association and British Institute for International and Comparative Law. If you have any question regarding our organization, or the Fall Lecture, or if you wish to attend the lecture, please contact Ms Liana Vieira (secretary@icln.net). You are also most welcome to bring along guests.

This course, conducted under the auspices of the GCSP's new Security and Law Programme, will take participants through the historical development of both areas of law in order to convey a real understanding of the underlying basis for the current and developing nexus. It will deal with the essential principles that provide the framework for each of these two bodies of law, and importantly, it will trace the relationship between them, focusing ultimately on the difficult and challenging operational situations that straddle the overlap between them. The course will be led by Professor Steven Haines, Head of the GCSP's Security and Law Programme, who will be the principal lecturer. Participants will benefit from input provided by leading specialists in the field based in International Geneva as well as from important organisations elsewhere. The course fee is Euros 650 or 1,000 CHF. For more information on the course and to register, contact: law@gcsp.ch.
