3rd AMITY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 8th-9th Nov’ 2019

About organizer

Amity Law School, Gurugram proudly announces its two-day International Conference on the theme “Criminal Justice System: National and International Perspectives” which aims to provide a platform and bring together students, practitioners, academicians, researchers, media persons and other stakeholders to put forward their research and develop a better understanding on a wide range of sub-themes.

CONCEPT NOTE:

The Indian Criminal Justice System, along with most Criminal Justice Systems, focuses on establishing the offender’s guilt and punishing the offender in the name of justice, fairness, deterrence and safety. However, this viewpoint has been considered by many Criminologists and Jurists as being too narrow. A Criminal Justice System, according to them, should be one which can resolve human conflict and restore peace and order. Deliverance of justice has seen a paradigm shift, from Punitive Justice to Restorative Justice.

The history of Law reflects the occasional migration of legal concepts from one civilization to the other. This in turn had an impact on International Criminal Justice System, which borrowed from the major families of Law, in order to form its substantive and procedural Law. Recent times have seen major reforms in all components of Criminal Justice Systems across the Globe, thereby impacting International Criminal Justice System.

The Indian Criminal Justice System factually has struggled to cure injustice happening to any class of people. Access to justice is facing the crisis, imperilling the country’s legal system, as access to Courts is expensive, time-consuming, procedure-ridden, technical and difficult to comprehend which impedes poor and vulnerable people from approaching the same.

Criminal Justice System reorganization is one zealous task for intellectuals and policy makers. Though, society has undergone a sea change due to advent of Information Technology, Globalization and transformative Constitutional Jurisprudence, Criminal Law barring few changes, has remained as a reflection of colonial vestige. Although the various Criminal Justice System components have made significant efforts to deal with this issue, these have occurred very much in sectorial isolation.

In light of the above, this Conference has an objective to delve into, deliberate and generate awareness amongst students of varied disciplines and the legal luminaries through criminal and correctional legal mechanisms, its impact and implications on the marginalized community and to discuss reforms that can be brought to improve the Criminal Justice System and International Criminal Justice System in future.
