The theme of the course this year will be “International Law and Contemporary Global Transformations.”

The course affords an opportunity to promote the exchange of ideas and generate an open dialogue on topics of special relevance in the area of international law, and to promote studies, research, and specialization in these areas. Several distinguished professors from the Americas and Europe will teach the classes over the three-week period.

Each year the OAS offers a specific number of scholarships for young professionals from all member states of the Organization who have degrees in law or international relations.

This year the DIL will offer four additional scholarships for youth of African descent in the framework of the Project for the Incorporation of the Afro-descendent Theme in the Policies and Programs of the OAS.

The classes offered in the course are published in annual volumes and thus constitute one of the most distinguished series at the hemispheric level on this subject.
