Both听residential and online components of this program will allow you to connect with an exceptional array of established individuals in the field of human rights and humanitarian law. Our faculty includes more than 40 world-renowned experts who teach every year in the Program of Advanced Studies on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. 听This is a great opportunity to interact with notable faculty members composed of international NGO members, international tribunal judges, members of regional international organizations, UN special rapporteurs, distinguished WCL faculty and international faculty and members of UN treaty bodies.
In addition to the substantive knowledge they transmit to our students, they are essential professional contacts for future work-related opportunities for the graduates of our program. The time spent in close contact with such experts, during the residential part of the program will most certainly guarantee success for future networking.
