A Dynamic and Productive Year

2018 has been an intense and busy year for the Geneva Academy with:

  • More than 60 events, seminars, conferences and expert meetings on topical issues like accountability in Syria, the International Criminal Court 20 years after Rome or arms transfer to conflict-prone regions and international human rights and humanitarian law criteria under the Arms Trade Treaty
  • Several publications and articles dealing with the classification of armed conflicts (also covered by the unique and comprehensive RULAC database), the rights of peasants, the Sustainable Development Goals or armed non-state actors
  • The education, via our three master’s programme, of more than 80 students in international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international criminal law and transitional justice
  • The launch of the Geneva Human Rights Platform

Our Impact

Through our distinctive mix of education, research, and convening power, we continued to disseminate legal knowledge, inform policy recommendations, support practitioners, and provide a critical and scholarly forum to discuss and debate topical issues in international humanitarian law, human rights, international criminal law and transitional justice.
