The GPIL International Law in Practice Intensive Program (“GPIL Summer Intensive Program”) provides a hybrid (i.e., both in-person and remote) experiential learning opportunity designed to advance practical understanding of public interest lawyering in public international law. In 2025, the GPIL Summer Intensive Program will be offered from 28 July to 02 August in The Hague (Netherlands), known as the “City of Peace and Justice” as it features a range of core institutions in public international law from the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court to international organizations such as the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The Hague is also one of the greatest sites of diplomatic exchange in the world and hosts a strong diplomatic presence from a range of States globally. The GPIL Summer Intensive Program will be held at the Hague Humanity Hub, a center for collaboration and exchange among international civil society organizations active in The Hague.
Over the course of this condensed week of learning, participants will have the opportunity to gain a practical foundation in public international law by attending a series of lectures by leading practitioners and legal academics as well as by putting their new-found insights and skills to the test in an international legal advocacy exercise. Although subject to availability and not guaranteed, The Global Pro Bono Bar Association is also working to facilitate (1) tours of the Peace Palace (site of the International Court of Justice and Permanent Court of Arbitration) as well as of the International Criminal Court for in-person participants; and (2) a virtual tour of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (“OPCW”) for remote participants.
