The Global Legal Action Network at Queen’s

Dr Conor McCormick is in discussion with Dearbhla Minogue, a lawyer from the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), about an exciting new clinical collaboration between GLAN and the School of Law at Queen’s. They map out some of GLAN’s work in holding powerful actors to account through litigation, in addition to their collaboration with the digital investigators at Bellingcat.

This new project will enable a group of graduate students to learn how social media evidence is gathered and analysed for the purposes of war crimes accountability – and their work will be plugged in to GLAN’s ongoing cases.
