Thom Dyke and Jennie Oborne were invited to speak at the recent Association of Police Lawyers (APL) National Security Conference, which took place on 8 June 2026 at the Counter Terrorism Operations Centre (CTOC) in London.

They covered a range of issues in international criminal law and how they impact on policing in the context of national security and the prosecution of atrocity crimes under universal jurisdiction.

Thom and Jennie give regular training in this niche area, both in the UK and abroad at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and elsewhere.  Recent training includes crimes against humanity, open-source evidence, the role AI in human rights, expert witnesses (including forensic accountants and doctors), and dealing with vulnerable witnesses.

Both Thom and Jennie have extensive expertise in domestic and international criminal law and are regularly instructed in complex and sensitive cases involving national security and human rights issues.
