UpRights’ experts take part in training on adjudication of international crimes and judgement drafting

24-04-2024

From April 15 to 19, 2024, Uprights’ Valérie Gabard and David Kinnecome contributed as experts in a training for judges on the adjudication of international crimes in Ukraine and on judgment drafting in international crimes cases. The training was organized by the National School of Judges with the support from USAID Justice for All Activity, Global Rights Compliance and T.M.C. Asser Institute, which implements the Dutch-funded MATRA-Ukraine Project.

Alongside other experts specializing in international humanitarian law and international criminal law, as well as a judge from the International Criminal Court, UpRights’ Valérie Gabard and David Kinnecome shared their insights and subject matter expertise with participants.

During the training, 25 Ukrainian judges from throughout the country improved their knowledge, skills, and abilities in evaluating evidence in trials involving international crimes and applying international customary law in actual cases in Ukraine. Participants also discussed how to apply modes of liability to international crimes under the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and the importance of taking victim-centred, gender-sensitive, and child-sensitive approaches in adjudicating war crimes cases.

The program further included interactive sessions on how to draft well-reasoned judgments in international crimes cases. Experts shared with participants guidance on judgment drafting for the adjudication of war crimes cases in Ukraine based on international best practices, covering issues related to presenting evidence and factual findings related to the crimes prosecuted under Article 438 of the Criminal Code, as well as findings on legal elements of international crimes and modes of liability, defences.

The training built upon the Benchbook on the Adjudication of International Crimes under Ukrainian Domestic Law developed by international and Ukrainian experts in collaboration with judges and with support from the USAID Justice for All Activity. All training participants were provided with a printed copy of the Benchbook.
