In the Spring Semester, the study trip allows students to experience the practical side of international humanitarian law (IHL), international human rights law (IHRL) and international criminal law (ICL). This trip is a marvellous opportunity to understand the work of international organizations and NGOs, meet staff and experts and discuss IHL, IHRL and ICL issues.
The Geneva Academy Student Association is responsible for organizing the LLM study trip, which is partially financed by the Geneva Academy.
In past academic years, our LLM students had the opportunity to travel to the Balkans (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia), to The Hague, or to Solferino. They often recall these trips as one of the best experiences of the programme, which allowed them to put into practice what they have learned in class.
As part of the programme’s annual study trip, students of our LLM in International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and Human Rights travelled to Belgrade, Sarajevo and Budapest where they met experts and institutions who work in the fields of IHL, international human rights law and international criminal law.
Geneva Academy
From 20 to 24 February 2019, students of our LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights travelled to Belgrade where they met experts and institutions who work in the fields of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and international criminal law.
Our LLM students travelled to Belgrade and Pristina where they met a wide range of experts and institutions who work in the fields of international humanitarian law, human rights, international criminal law, transitional justice and migration. Alongside, they also had the opportunity to discover a new region and culture!
