The training project is an intensive one-week course that is being held June 3-9 at the Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London. The project was developed by the Section of Litigation to help prepare 13 Sudanese lawyers for their representation of victims of the genocide in Darfur before international tribunals, including the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Salih Mahmoud Osman, an internationally-recognized human rights advocate from the Sudan, will be bringing the lawyers to London to participate in this unique program. About a dozen volunteer lawyers from the United States will serve on the faculty.
