XXXVII Course on International Law

The Department of International Law is organizing the XXXVII Course on International Law, which will be offered August 2-20, 2010, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This year the main topic of the course will be “International Law and Contemporary Global Transformation.”

The course is part of the Inter-American Program for the Development of International Law, and is one of the department’s longest-standing and most important activities for the promotion and dissemination of international law.

For three weeks, a group of approximately 36 young students from various countries in the region will gather in Rio de Janeiro to study current issues in international law. The faculty will be distinguished international law professors from various countries in the Americas and Europe.
For this event the OAS has granted 24 scholarships to students, and the Department of International Law has granted four additional scholarships for young Afro-descendants in the region, with financial support from CIDA-Canada.
