Recently, a delegation led by Professor Peng Chengxin, Dean of the KoGuan School of Law at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, went to Europe, paying official visits to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Netherlands and international organizations including the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). The visit focused on cultivating foreign-related rule-of-law talent, cutting-edge international law research, and expanding international cooperation, representing a major initiative by the School to engage with high-end global rule-of-law platforms and enhance its international influence.

Members of the KoGuan School of Law delegation engaged in discussions with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Netherlands and the Chinese Delegation to the OPCW.

The KoGuan School of Law delegation met with Mr. Li Hong, Director of the External Relations Division of the OPCW. Established in 1997 and headquartered in The Hague, the OPCW oversees the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and coordinates the global destruction and verification of chemical weapons.

The KoGuan School of Law delegation held talks with ITLOS President Tomas Heidar, among others. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), located in Hamburg, was established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and specializes in resolving maritime disputes such as maritime delimitation and resource exploitation.

The KoGuan School of Law delegation visited the International Court of Justice(ICJ)and the International Criminal Court(ICC).

The International Court of Justice (ICJ), situated in The Hague, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. Established in 1946 under the Charter of the United Nations, it is responsible for settling legal disputes between states and issuing advisory opinions.

The International Criminal Court (ICC), based in The Hague, was established in 2002 under the Rome Statute. As the world's first permanent international criminal judicial institution, it adjudicates grave international crimes such as genocide and war crimes.

This visit has established a regular communication bridge between the School and international organizations. The delegation conducted in-depth exchanges with officials, experts, and scholars from various institutions on topics including collaborative research in international law, joint training of foreign-related rule-of-law talent, and faculty and student exchange visits, reaching multiple areas of consensus. Professor Zhang Peng, Deputy Party Secretary of the KoGuan School of Law, Professor Hou Liyang, and Associate Professor Zhang Guobin, Assistant Dean, accompanied the delegation on this visit. In the future, the KoGuan School of Law will continue to advance foreign-related rule-of-law development, strengthen practical engagement with international organizations, and contribute to national efforts in cultivating foreign-related rule-of-law professionals and constructing a discourse system for international rule of law.
