About the Program: An Overview

Santa Clara’s two-city program in Geneva, Switzerland and Strasbourg, France was founded in 1975. It provides students a unique opportunity to study international law, international organizations and human rights law in two centers of public international law. The program includes visits to, and briefings at, the key institutions located in both of these cities.

 

The program has two distinct but complementary parts. It provides a total of 7 units of graded credit.

 

Geneva: Students begin in Geneva, Switzerland (the European Headquarters of the United Nations), where local faculty provide instruction on the basic principles of public international law and international humanitarian law.

 

Strasbourg: The introduction provided in the Geneva course allows participants to join scholars from around the globe to participate in the Rene Cassin Institute of Human Rights, held annually at the University of Strasbourg. The summer 2010 course at Strasbourg is titled "The International Prohibition of Racial Discrimination." Details about the 2010 course in Strasbourg can be found at http://www.iidh.org/sa_programme.php.  Institutional visits enrich the institute’s full schedule of lectures and events.
