with a dozen scholars from across Europe and Japan

In collaboration with Waseda Brussels office (WBO) & Institut d'études européennes (IEE)

A day-long workshop in Brussels on March 7th led by Professors Anne Weyembergh and Chloé Brière from the Center of European Law at the Institut d’études Européennes of the ULB, on the one hand; and Professor Shuichi Furuya from Waseda Law School, on the other.

This legal workshop on “European and Japanese Approaches to International Criminal Justice” is coordinated by the Institut d’études européennes (IEE) of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) as part of its ongoing cooperation with the Waseda Law School. The workshop’s academic co-chairs are Anne Weyembergh (IEE-ULB) and Suichi Furuya (Waseda School of Law).

The workshop will include two roundtables which are scheduled to feed into an ongoing book project exploring new perspectives on European and Japanese approaches to international criminal justice. Contributors are invited to conduct a transversal analysis examining the respective positions of the EU and Japan towards international criminal justice, and how the two partners build on their existing collaboration to promote international criminal justice. Exchanges are to help pinpoint similarities and/or divergences in the respective approaches. Singularly, all contributions are jointly written by EU- and Japan-based scholars thus combining their expertise.

This is a scientific workshop aimed mainly at graduate students, early-stage researchers, or academics interested in the ongoing or nascent work scheduled to be presented across the workshop’s 5 panels.
