LLM International Human Rights Law

Programme Director: Dr Caroline Fournet

Study tour of the United Nations, Geneva

The core of the International Human Rights Law module is a one week trip to Geneva to attend a variety of UN-committee sessions. The aim of the trip is for you to gain a first-hand experience of the work of the UN. The tour also provides you the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful city of Geneva, the international UN capital.

During the tour you will have the opportunity to attend committee sessions, joining the delegation, NGOs and committee members in the committee chambers. You may also be able to meet with some committee members for a private briefing on the work of their committee. The tour enables you to experience the practical side of human rights law, to see the work of the Secretariat, and to learn about opportunities to work or intern with the UN in human rights.
