WHAT IS MICC?

Model International Criminal Court (MICC) is a simulation of trials before the ICC for high school and university students from all over the world.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the world’s most sophisticated mechanism for the protection of Human Rights and rules of warfare. MICC is a project that aims to teach core principles of the ICC to high school and university students.

MICC has been growing successfully since 2005 and we owe it to the quality of the training, focus on most relevant topics and a unique experience MICC provides.

The working language of every simulation is English, and every session comprises sets of trainings, discussions and workshops with a simulation of the ICC process – preparation, trial and verdict. Bringing in students from all around the globe, MICC fosters intercultural dialogue and understanding among students of various national and social backgrounds. The goal of this work is to encourage students to study human rights and humanitarian
law. More information about MICC are available on the website of the project: www.model-icc.org

MEETING PLACE

The training course is going to take place in Tbilisi, Georgia. Tbilisi – a multi-ethnic, multicultural, multi-religious city on the crossroads of history, a city neither European nor Asian but a heady blend of both East and West. Tbilisi was founded in the 5th century AD and has attracted visitors ever since, drawn by the hot springs for which the city is named, by the lively atmosphere of its cobbled streets and caravanserais or simply by what Alexandre Dumas called the “strange, fascinating charm” of this “city of legend and romance.”

FUNDING

This project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
