A Forum for International Judges

| Participants at BIIJ 2009, in the Caribbean Court of Justice |
The Brandeis Institute for International Judges (BIIJ) provides international judges with the opportunity to meet and discuss critical issues concerning the theory and practice of international justice. Institutes are held approximately every 18 months, bringing together judges serving on international courts and tribunals around the world to reflect on the philosophical aspects and practical challenges of their work. The most recent Institute, the sixth, was held from January 4-8, 2009, in Trinidad. Eleven international courts were represented at the institute, which was organized around the theme of “International Justice: Past, Present, and Future.” Nicolas Michel, who just completed his term as the UN Under-Secretary General for Legal Affairs, served as a special presenter on the theme of “international justice and politics.”
