Institute of Public Law Studies (I.E.D.P.)

The Institute of Public Law Studies (I.E.D.P.), created in 1996, is the public law center of the Jean Monnet faculty. Structured in two poles - the internal public law pole and the pole of European and international law - the IEDP gathers a team of researchers and researchers publicist teachers and regularly welcomes external members, often practitioners from the State major administration's departments but also of international institutions. The IEDP relies on this network to organize annual scientific events in various formats and objects around the themes of governance (territorial and international), the environment and heritage or the history of administrative law. Since its creation, IEDP hosts the Center for Research and Studies on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (CREDHO).

Created in 1990 by Paul Tavernier, CREDHO has two components: CREDHO-Rouen and CREDHO-Paris Sud. CREDHO-Paris Sud is integrated within the IEDP. It aims to bring together all those interested in human rights and humanitarian law, whatever their specialty: public law, criminal law, international law, etc.

As of 2005, the general international dimension has once again become one of the areas of research. This is the reason why the unit is now organized around two poles, one devoted to the study of internal public law, the other to that of international and European law (including of course the CREDHO).
