About Master of Laws - International Criminal Law
The LLM in International Criminal Law is an innovative, flexible program that provides students with in-depth knowledge of international criminal law in practice. Participants will explore issues such as crimes against humanity, aggression, grounds for excluding liability, the International Criminal Court, and the relationship between international criminal law and international human rights. In addition to examining specific areas of crime, students will critically analyze key trials, such as the Nuremberg Trials, and their impact on the creation of the criminal offenses of genocide and war crimes. Other key focuses will include the Tribunals in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, as well as the responsibility to protect and prosecute.
