Evidence Project Researchers meet with ICJ Judge

The Director of the Evidence Project, Anna Riddell and Researcher Brendan Plant, travelled to Oxford to hear Judge Bernardo Sepulveda-Amor of the International Court of Justice give a lecture entitled, 'The International Court of Justice and the Use of Force'. The event was organised by the Oxford Public International Law Discussion Group, convened by the British Institute's intern, Lydia-Maria Bolani.

Following the lecture Judge Sepulveda discussed the International Court of Justice and its evidentiary rules and procedures with Ms Riddell and Mr Plant over lunch. He was able to give some interesting insights and answer many questions on the workings of the Court.

The Evidence Project is in its final stages, with the research now being written up. It is hoped the resulting publication will be completed by early 2008.
