Situations of armed conflict affect the lives of millions of people globally. They remind us that the need to ensure respect for international law during and following armed conflicts and to train the next generation in these fields are as acute as ever.
Every year, more than 500 talented young students apply to our LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights (LLM) and to our MAS in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law (MTJ) with a scholarship. Among these, we can only accept around 20 thanks to the generous support of our donors who fund scholarships for these programmes.
This means that we leave out many other promising students because of their limited resources.
‘Studying in Geneva can represent an important financial burden for students and their families. As a result, many talented candidates – from both western and non-western countries – cannot enroll in our programmes’ explains Professor Gloria Gaggioli, Director of the Geneva Academy.
‘It is key for us to ensure a broad diversity in our student body, with students bringing different social, geographical and cultural backgrounds and perspectives in class. Such a mix is not only essential for the programme itself, but also to address contemporary challenges in IHL, human rights and transitional justice’ she adds.
