The Regional Courses are intended to enable qualified professionals, in particular government officials and teachers of international law from developing countries and countries with emerging economies, to deepen their knowledge of international law, and of the legal work of the United Nations.
About the Programme
The United Nations Regional Courses in International Law are conducted under the United Nations Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law. The United Nations Programme of Assistance was established by General Assembly resolution 2099 (XX) of 20 December 1965 to
contribute towards a better knowledge of international law as a mean of strengthening international peace and security and promoting friendly relations and cooperation among States.
The Regional Courses provide high-quality training by prominent international law scholars and practitioners from different regions and legal systems on a broad range of core topics of international law, as well as specific topics of particular interest to the countries in a given region.
