AIDP | Association Internationale De Droit Pénal

We are glad to announce the  20th Specialization Course in International Criminal Law for Young Penalists on “Human Rights, Criminal Justice and International Law” that the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights is organizing online from July 5 until July 9, 2021. The course is sponsored by the  International Association of Penal Law (AIDP), among others.

The AIDP has launched a Call for Papers for the International Review of Penal Law (RIDP) volume on "Artificial Intellingence, big data and automated decision-making in criminal justice". Please refer to the attached Call for Papers for further information.

It is with deep sadness that I share with you the passing of Prof. Dr. Alfonso Stile (1941-2021) due to a long illness. His legacy to the Siracusa Institute and to the AIDP is enormous. The fact that he was honorary vice-president of both organisations proves the appraisal for his longstanding contribution, commitment and leadership.  Alfonso Stile was active in the Board of Directors of the AIDP since the 1970’s. In Italy, he also built up a strong national AIDP group and was always interested in the younger generations.

To all our national groups and members, affiliates and friends: 

2020 has been a challenging and difficult year for most of us. Our professional and personal lives have become virtual to a large extent. 

The 2021 annual meetings of the AIDP (COEX, CODIR, COSCI, COREV) will take place on December 3 and 4, 2021 in Siracusa, Italy. They will be hosted by the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights. Please click here for the full schedule:
