The Course is aimed at providing students with basic knowledge about International Organisations, both universal and regional ones, to detail institutional, functional and operational features of IOs, as established by States to enhance the intergovernmental cooperation within the International Community. Special attention is further devoted to human rights protection and promotion as a cross-cutting pivotal topic within the global and regional IOs as well as the international and EU NGOs.
The learning of these notions is essential for students who intend to take competitions for the diplomatic career or for the civil service in international organisations, public and private bodies as well as non-governmental organisations operating at the international and European level.
