Abstract

The Brandeis Institute for International Judges (BIIJ) has established itself as a significant and world-renowned program that promotes the role of judges working in the domain of international law and justice. Organized by the International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life of Brandeis University, the BIIJ provides a venue for judges from international and regional courts to discuss important issues relating to the administration of justice across their varied jurisdictions.

In 2013, the BIIJ was organized, for the first time in its 12-year history, in partnership with outside academic bodies working in the same field. The institute was held in Lund, Sweden, in collaboration with the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and the Lund University Faculty of Law around the theme “The International Rule of Law in a Human Rights Era.”

This report of the Lund session provides an extremely interesting and useful read for those working in the field of international justice and human rights.
