UNOG International Law Seminar 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland (Financial Support Available)
nterested applicants must submit their application before the deadline of 8 April 2019. Applications will not be considered after this date. Applicants must be between 24 and 38 years of age on 1 January 2019. This rule will be applied strictly.
Objective
The Seminar is designed for postgraduate students in international law, young scholars and government officials working in the field of international law, to widen their knowledge of both the work of the International Law Commission and of the codification and progressive development of international law. It also provides an opportunity for young lawyers from different legal systems and cultures to exchange views regarding items on the agenda of the Commission.
The International Law Seminar is not intended to be an introduction to international law. Applicants must prove a sound knowledge of public international law, on the basis of either their postgraduate studies or significant professional experience.
Selection
Twenty-five participants will be selected, by a Selection Committee, to participate in the Seminar. The Selection Committee is composed of two officials of the United Nations and is chaired by a professor of international law of a Geneva-based university. All applications will be considered, but the Selection Committee does not disclose the motivation of its choices and decisions are final and cannot be appealed.
