2014 International Human Rights Program in Geneva

As part of Murdoch School of Law’s global reach, a human rights program has been set up in Geneva, Switzerland. Geneva is synonymous with many of the world’s leading international organisations such as the United Nations, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Red Cross/Red Crescent, the International Labour Organisation, the International Commission of Jurists, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and many others.

In recognition of its role in addressing the needs of students in today’s global community, Murdoch University School of Law is offering to Australian law students a unique program which focuses on international human rights law.

The International Human Rights Law Program

Human rights are a prerequisite for international peace and stability. This central tenet of the United Nations and international community is also why Murdoch University’s School of Law is at the vanguard of providing to Australian law students a more direct and concrete exposure to the opportunities and networks available in the diplomatic and legal fulcrum which is Geneva.

Murdoch University School of Law is proposing three law units with a direct relevance to human rights as part of the International Human Rights Law programme. Students can enrol in up to three units. The face to face teaching component of the program is offered intensively during the period 22 June- 13 July 2014 at the Centre international réformé John Knox in Geneva. Other course work such as assignments, readings, any other engagement with the course topics and a final exam will have to be completed before and/or after the intensive teaching period as advised by the unit coordinator and in the unit outline.
