Liège Human Rights Clinic This experiment, set up by the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology, aims to give students a first practical insight into the realities and issues involved in the international legal protection of individuals. It also aims to help build capacity and collective efforts to protect fundamental rights, particularly for the benefit of associations, individuals or law firms working to defend fundamental rights in pro bono cases. In 2022, a student worked with the Federal Institute of Human Rights to draft a preliminary intervention in the execution procedure, before the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, of a judgment handed down by the European Court of Human Rights against Belgium concerning judicial backlogs. And in 2023, four students worked alongside a Brussels law firm representing a journalist deprived of his liberty in a North African country, carrying out research into psychological torture and the admissibility of successive individual applications to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
