AIDP | Association Internationale De Droit Pénal

The University of Malaga, in collaboration with the Criminal Law Department and the Malaga Section of the Andalusian Inter-University Institute of Criminology, has announced the second edition of the "Dr. José Luis Díez Ripollés" International Award. The aim of this competition is to encourage research in legal and social sciences; the best work on criminal law, criminology or criminal policy - disciplines on which Professor Díez-Ripollés based his academic career – will be awarded €3,000 and will be published by Tirant Lo Blanch.

We are glad to announce the 22nd Specialization Course in International Criminal Law for Young Penalists ‘M. Cherif Bassiouni’ on “75 Years: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The Genocide Convention” that the Siracusa International Institute for Criminal Justice and Human Rights is organizing in presence in Siracusa, Italy, between Monday, June 12, and Saturday, June 17, 2023; online participation will also be allowed.

After a decades-long and wonderful career, John Vervaele, President of the AIDP, will retire from Utrecht University. On the occasion of his retirement, we cordially invite you to digitally attend his Valedictory Lecture: Towards a European Reassessment of Punitive Law Enforcement? on 10 March 2023. You are also cordially invited to digitally attend the Symposium: Criminal Justice, Human Rights and Globalisation prior to the valedictory lecture.

To all our national groups and members, affiliates and friends 

Fortunately 2022 did come with much better perspectives for the most of us. We were able to meet again in person and could organise our first International Colloquium on Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Justice in relation to the general part (section I)  in Siracusa in September and thus produce the first set of resolutions.

The Tenth International AIDP Symposium for Young Penalists was held on 27-28 October 2022 at the Department of legal studies of the University of Bologna. Young researchers from more than 15 different countries discussed on current issues of criminal justice from the perspective of the protection of human rights.
