The program was launched in June 2007, with 26 J.D. and LL.M. participants from six universities.
TheProgram in The Hague is the product of a unique collaboration between the War Crimes Research Office of American University’s Washington College of Law, established in 1995 to provide specialized legal research assistance to international/ized criminal tribunals, and the T.M.C.
