Model International Criminal Court (MICC) University - Krzyżowa, 1-6.04.2019

The next edition of the Model International Criminal Court (MICC) University project took place in Krzyżowa from 1st to 6th April. Students from all over the world simulated trials of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

This edition of the project was attended by 50 participants from the United States, Germany, Poland, Egypt, India, Belarus, Congo, Israel, Ukraine, Nigeria, France, Greece, Lebanon and Zimbabwe.

Participants in the project played the role of judges, prosecutors and defenders and simulate court trials. The student teams discussed hypothetical cases of war crimes, ranging from prosecution charges to negotiations on compensation for victims. As part of the project, students also formed a press team that follows the negotiations at the MICC and produced a report with information on current human rights issues. 

During the five-day programme, the simulation was combined with training sessions and seminars on topical topics of international criminal and human rights law.

The MICC project aims to promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to promote the dissemination of knowledge about human rights.
