ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY:
The Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), Punjab was established by the State Legislature of Punjab by passing the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab Act, 2006 (Punjab Act No. 12 of 2006). The Act incorporated a law university of national stature in Punjab, thereby fulfilling the need for a Centre of Excellence in legal education in the modern era of globalisation and liberalization. The University acquired the approval of the Bar Council of India (BCI) in July 2006.
ABOUT THE CENTRE:
The Centre for Advanced Studies in International Humanitarian Law (CASH) is one of the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab’s flagship centres. The Centre aims to further its objective
of bridging the gap between the theory and practice of humanitarian law. It is established to facilitate research and discourse in the various facets of international humanitarian law by analysing current policy approaches in tackling contemporary global issues. It further streamlines the process of learning
through academic courses, programs, and publications.
ABOUT THE COURSE:
International law typically governs the rights and responsibilities of States; criminal law, conversely, is paradigmatically concerned with prohibitions addressed to individuals, violations of which are
subject to penal sanction by a State. The development of a body of international criminal law which imposes responsibilities directly on individuals and punishes violations through international mechanisms is relatively recent. Therefore, The Certificate Course aims to link discussions of legal theories, jurisprudence and practice to scholarship and opinions in exploring the themes of
international criminal law.
The subject of international criminal law has assumed immense significance in India during the last decade and offers unique avenues for legal discourse in the 21st century. In ensuring its recognition, compliance and development, it becomes essential to include facets of international criminal law in research curriculums. In pursuance of this objective, the Centre for Advanced Studies in International Humanitarian Law (CASH), established at the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab, has launched this Credit Certificate Course to sensitize students and researchers regarding the ethos and principles of international criminal law.
