Description

The International Justice Project works towards the development, coordination and increased employment of international law and human rights standards as they pertain to capital punishment. The project is organized to undertake the following: - Provide technical assistance and coordinate efforts to promote the employment of international law and human rights standards. - Liaise between foreign governments and legal counsel on specific cases, providing comprehensive, accurate and timely information. Offer guidance on political and legal strategy when possible foreign governmental intervention is under consideration. - Share technical legal knowledge and legislative strategy with lawyers, students, international entities, and organizations, becoming a clearinghouse for information, experience and expertise. - Organize conferences and workshops focused on international law as it relates to the death penalty. These forums will allow for candid, dynamic discussion between the international and domestic communities on the numerous issues involved. - Establish an internship program, giving students of human rights and/or international law, especially from those countries where the death penalty is still utilized, the opportunity to spend valuable time working with and assisting the project. Students will be able to broaden their knowledge of general principles of international law as well as the relationship between international and domestic law...
