SEMINAR: United Nations Office at Geneva International Law Seminar


International Law Seminar
The United Nations Office at Geneva will host an International Law Seminar this summer:

The Seminar takes place on an annual basis and aims to enable postgraduate students or young university teachers specialized in international law, as well as young lawyers working in the international law field, 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 lawyers coming 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 international law, on the basis of either their postgraduate studies or significant professional experience in the field.

A maximum of 24 participants from various Member States of the United Nations participate in ILS. As well as attending the meetings of ILC, participants are expected to take an active part in the discussions which follow lectures given by members of the Commission, officials of the United Nations or specialized agencies in Geneva and other speakers invited for the occasion.

The 2013 session of the Seminar will be held in Geneva from 8 to 26 July 2013 and will be directed by Mr. Markus Schmidt, Senior Legal Adviser at UNOG.
