The Al-Haq Center for Applied International Law is pleased to announce its Sixth International Law Summer School Program for professionals, legal researchers, post-graduates and academics in the fields of international law and human rights. 

The 2020 School program will run entirely online throughout the two-week period of 12 – 22 October 2020, with the weekends being free of lectures. All presentations and discussions will take place in English. An Arabic version of the program will also take place in November. 

The school aims to assist professionals in developing a coherent understanding of the legal and human rights situation in the OPT while closely studying the application of international law in the OPT. The program offers lectures by human rights professionals, civil society organizations and human rights groups on key human rights issues and trends of violations witnessed in the OPT.

The program is open to post-graduate students of law and related fields, legal scholars, human rights defenders and researchers. Participants that attend all sessions online will be granted a certificate of completion. The program can only accommodate a limited number of participants.
