Czech National AIDP Group

The Association Internationale de Droit Pénal (AIDP) was founded in 1924 and accredited as a non-governmental organization to the United Nations in 1950. The AIDP currently has more than 3,000 individual members in about 100 countries from among lawyers, criminologists, penologists and experts in other social sciences or those working in the field of criminal justice. In addition to individual membership, legal institutions, research institutes, university departments, etc. are registered as collective members.AIDP national groups are active in 49 countries, including the Czech Republic.

The Czech National Group of the Association Internationale de Droit Pénal (ČSN AIDP) is a registered association, founded in 2002. After the partition of Czechoslovakia and at the beginning of the new millennium, there was a joint Czech-Slovak national group, but its activities have somewhat stagnated in the last years of its existence. This situation necessitated an expedient reorganisation and the process of splitting the national group into a separate Czech and a separate Slovak group was therefore initiated.

The object of the association's activities is to study the state and development of criminal law at home and abroad, including international criminal law, and to support institutions and legislation in this area in order to increase the effectiveness of the protection of society while respecting the principles of humanism and human rights. It participates in the activities of the AIDP cooperates with other national groups and also organises its own events and implements its own programme of activities within the framework of the objectives and mission of AIDP.

The AIDP Czech National Group is always open to new applicants for membership. Membership is open to any person who, especially due to his/her employment, position or function, intends to actively participate in the activities of the Association or whose focus can contribute to the fulfilment of the objectives of the Association. As in AIDP itself, members of the national group may be individuals (individual membership) as well as relevant professional, research, educational, etc. Membership in the Society is established by a resolution of the Steering Committee to admit an applicant to the Society on the basis of an application submitted by the applicant. Membership is also conditional on payment of a membership fee, the amount of which is set for each calendar year by resolution of the general meeting.
