18.00h ? 20.00h Location: Wladimiroff & Waling law firm, located at
Sophialaan 9 in The Hague On Wednesday 25th November 2009 the
International Criminal Law Network invites you to the Fall Lecture at
Wladimiroff & Waling law firm in The Hague. During this lecture we will
discuss the following topic: “The presumption of innocence and its best
friends” What does this mean and where does this leads to. Is the presumption
at risk of being left behind in a rush to do things faster? The reality of
cases and processes in international criminal law that test the underlying
philosophy, and the associated rights and obligations and other best friends
that make up the jigsaw puzzle of the fair trial process. On this topic, we
will be honoured to hear the comments of: Judge Howard Morrison Judge of the
ICTY since Augustus 31 2009 Member of the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges
Association and British Institute for International and Comparative Law. If you
have any question regarding our organization, or the Fall Lecture, or if you
