This course will be taught in conjunction with the equivalent postgraduate course. Due to practical considerations, enrolment will be strictly limited to 20 students from all sources - a limited number of places may go to postgraduate students.
The first section of the course will be devoted to general aspects of the operation of international organisations, the second section will focus on human rights and related issues, and the third section will mainly address trade, IP and environmental questions. The precise composition of the program will vary to some extent from year to year.
The classes will take place principally in various international organisations in Geneva. All classes and visits will be conducted in English and knowledge of French is not required.
