APILU engages university students

APILU plans to engage with Law students to promote understanding of Public International Law, International Criminal Law and Justice, International Humanitarian Law and the Rule of Law; and encourage debates on its relevance in the Ugandan context.
APILU's engagement with students will contribute to developing their personal expertise in Public International Law, International Criminal Law and Justice, International Humanitarian Law and the Rule of Law; and to stimulate interest and debates in these subjects among students.
In August, APILU and officials from the Law Development Centre (LDC) discussed ways of engaging post graduate law and diploma students at the Centre. The discussions considered possibilities of how APILU can give guest presentations to post graduate students on International Criminal Justice. APILU is also considering taking up the students for clerkship to increase their knowledge and awareness of International Criminal Law and Justice.

APILU also met with deans of faculties of Law from Kampala International University and Uganda Christian University, and the Institute of Strategic Studies in Gulu where they discussed and agreed on ways of working with the faculties and engaging law students to enhance their knowledge and awareness of issues of Public International Law, International Criminal Justice and International Humanitarian Law.

APILU further participated in a workshop organized by the International Commission of the Red Cross (ICRC) to meet with lecturers of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in Uganda in the various universities. The workshop facilitated sharing of experiences amongst IHL lecturers on IHL teaching in Uganda. Participants further shared their thought on structuring IHL curricula and resources and support available for IHL teaching.
