How to best serve justice when crimes are committed by those in power and national justice systems do not deliver? For four days, young people from across the world come together in The Netherlands, to find out during the workshop “Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to the Hague”.
Programme at a glance
The programme includes active methods such as research, discussion, group work, presentations, debates, simulations, onsite learning, and interactions with experts and eyewitnesses or victims. It culminates with a visit to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and attendance at a current international criminal trial.
The participants are challenged to identify examples of past injustices and critically assess how these were dealt or not dealt with. They will learn about various aspects of international justice, especially related to genocide and crimes against humanity, and the formal institutes that were established directly after the Second World War as well as into the 21st century.
