2. Call for Submissions: Workshop on Gender and Sexuality in International Criminal Law and Refugee Law. International criminal law (ICL) and International Refugee Law (IRL) serve distinct purposes and operate through separate mechanisms. ICL focuses on accountability, prosecuting individuals for serious crimes like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity through courts and tribunals, aiming to deliver justice and deter future atrocities. Refugee law, in contrast, is humanitarian, focused on protecting individuals fleeing persecution by granting access to asylum. Despite these differences, the two fields share some challenges, can impact one another, and often interact. In the Workshop on Gender and Sexuality in International Criminal Law and Refugee Law, which will be held on 11 April 2025 at Tilburg University, the organisers seek contributions exploring gender and sexuality specifically, as underrepresented themes, to generate interdisciplinary insights and strengthen collaboration between the wider fields of ICL and IRL. Submissions should be submitted to Gezy Schuurmans: g.schuurmans {at} tilburguniverisity(.)edu, by 31 January 2025. See here for further information.

Within the legal context of the European Union, the group of so-called due process – or procedural – rights are safeguarded by Title VI (‘Justice’) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFREU). These provisions capture the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial (Article 47), the presumption of innocence and right of defence (Article 48), principles of legality and proportionality of criminal offences and penalties (Article 49), as well as the right not to be tried or punished twice in criminal proceedings for the same criminal offence (Article 50). Not only are these procedural rights important for the proper functioning of the European Union’s internal market and of the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), but they also create effective safeguards for the enforcement of all other substantive rights captured by the CFREU.
