From 14 - 22 November 2012 Dr Olympia Bekou, Head of the HRLC's International Criminal Justice (ICJ) Unit, will be attending the Eleventh Session of the Assembly of State Parties (ASP) for the International Criminal Court in The Hague.  The highlight of the 2012 ASP will be the election of the Deputy Prosecutor of the ICC coupled with the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the entry into force of the Rome Statute.

On Monday 19 November Dr Bekou will be presenting at a side event entitled ICC Legal Tools Project:  PURL, Publications and Other New Developments (13.45 - 14.30).  This event will be co-hosted by the governments of Finland and Norway, the Legal Tools Project Co-ordinator and Case Matrix Network.
