The Hague Environmental Law Facility (HELF), a joint initiative of the Institute for Environmental Security and T.M.C Asser Institute, organises its first lecture on 4 April at 15:00 at the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague.
This first lecture is organised in response to the upcoming International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict on Whaling in the Antarctic (Australia v. Japan: New Zealand intervening). The scheduled speaker is Dr. Olivier Ribbelink, Senior Researcher of International Public Law at the T.M.C. Asser Institute.
About HELF
HELF is a new platform that aims to serve various functions: to advise and facilitate access to justice for parties with environmental problems or disputes, to involve law students in and around The Hague in solving environmental legal problems under supervision and against study credits (an environmental law clinic), and to organise academic lectures, trainings, workshops and conferences on the application and development of international, European and national environmental law. It will do this in the context of The Hague as Legal Capital of the World and in collaboration with the unique set of legal institutions based in The Hague.
Further information on HELF and its upcoming activities will be made available at the lecture. By registering now, you will be informed about and involved in a discussion of the latest ICJ verdict.
