The Third ICJ Geneva Forum for Judges and Lawyers, which took place on 13 December 2012, focused on the role of the domestic court in improving access to justice. The report is now online.
In three sessions, participants discussed how domestic courts grapple with the tension of applying universal standards in the domestic context; the role of the lawyer in strengthening the protection of international human rights law and standards through domestic litigation; and how judges compare national integration of various international human rights law and standards.
Mr. Douwe Sikkema participated on behalf of Judges for Judges at the forum.
