The KCIL extended several legal lessons for law students at Soran and Halabja universities. In light of the entrenched framework that the KCIL has solidified with KRI universities under the Justice Resilience Initiative in the Kurdistan Region (KRI), this project is funded by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs via Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (IFA). This partnership with the KRI universities aims to educate law students and familiarize them with international law. In this context, the KCIL has launched a new initiative offering several lectures on international criminal law, concentrating on how to prosecute international crimes at Soran and Halabja universities. The first lecturing series was held at Halabja University on November 26-27. On the first day, more than sixty students attended the lectures, and the Dean of the College of Law and Administration of Halabja University, Dr. Awara Hussein, delivered a decisive presentation on war crimes and genocide. This was complemented by a detailed account of the international tribunals set up to prosecute war criminals and perpetrators of genocide, framed within the judicial outlook shaped by international jurists. In the afternoon of the same day, Professor Mohammed Rashid introduced the students to the significance of domesticating international criminal law within the Kurdistan Region. The lectures on the second day were focused on deepening students' understanding of the pathways through which they can gain more familiarity with international criminal law. Dr. Tawana Hussein guided the students on how to analyze and interpret the provisions of international criminal law, using several specific cases where justice had been served as examples. Next, Ms. Zhila Kiani, an expert from the Yazidi Law Network, introduced the students to the latest legal developments concerning the prosecution of a member of the terrorist organization ISIL (Husna A.) in the Dutch Criminal Court. The final lecture of this experience, delivered by Dr. Ebad Rohi, focused on individual criminal responsibility. During this session, students were introduced to the most recent legal perspectives and debates surrounding criminal responsibility, both at the individual and state levels, within the context of the International Criminal Court and special tribunals.

Thus, the KCIL aims to acquaint law students with the latest advancements in international law, particularly in international criminal law and international humanitarian law. It is essential for students to develop the habit of engaging with international law beyond the formal curriculum, fostering a legal perspective that encourages innovation and reform. This will contribute to strengthening the legal and judicial systems in the KRI, ultimately enhancing the rule of law and promoting crisis prevention.
