Data Protection and Privacy
The personal data of participants applying for, registering for or participating in UNITAR's training courses and other events is governed by the Data Protection and Privacy Policy. By applying for, registering for or participating in this event, the participant acknowledges that he or she is, (or they are) aware of the policy and agree to its terms.
With increasingly complex global challenges such as climate change and public health pandemics, it has become incumbent on the international community to cultivate analytical practitioners who, based on a solid footing in international law, can think long-term and act strategically in concert with diverse stakeholders. The UNITAR Fellowship and the Visitors Programme enable select participants to take semester-long courses on international law and its sub-domains at one of the most prestigious law schools in New York.
Depending on courses selected, participants can develop expertise on various areas of international law relevant to their work at the United Nations, inter alia: human rights law, environmental law and maritime law, international commercial arbitration, intellectual property law, humanitarian law, regional governance and foreign direct investment.
Participants can indicate their preferred choice of school and, once accepted, can take up to two courses at either school during the spring semester, which runs from January to April 2012. In addition to attending classes, participants must complete readings and other assignments as required by course instructors. Most law courses use Socratic method, in which instructors randomly call upon students for answers. Please visit http://www.law.columbia.edu or http://www.law.nyu.edu for course listing and syllabus.
(Registration is closed for 2012.)
The Fellowship and Visitors Programmes are offered primarily to diplomats accredited to the UN Headquarters in New York. Applicants should have a law degree and/or an academic background in law, international relations, politics or related fields, have several years of working experience in national government service and be sufficiently fluent in English to follow graduate-level courses.
All participants who successfully complete the Fellowship/ Programme receive a certificate of completion jointly from UNITAR and Columbia Law School or New York University School of Law.
