July Week 3 Activity
The World Day for International Justice
Type of Activity – Research and Presentation
Introduction
Last week, we discussed about the World Day for International Justice and the role of ICC and ICJ. We decided to research more and get into deeper details about the importance of these bodies. Now let us give an opportunity to our ACTIZEN students to present their research and views based on the given topic.
Expected Outcomes
- Students will research the steps taken by ICC to try and prosecute criminals of the highest order.
- Students will confidently present their research in front of the entire class.
