The 2016 International Law Fellowship Program is a fully funded conference and international opportunity for foreign nationals. Applications are currently being accepted for this fully funded program.
The United Nations International Law Fellowship Programme is organized by the Codification Division of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs. The Fellowship Programme provides high-quality training by prominent international law scholars and practitioners on a broad range of core subjects of international law.
