22 September 2017. San Jose, Costa Rica - The University for Peace (UPEACE) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) are partnering to offer a new Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Transnational Crime and Justice. This LL.M. is designed for young professionals and university graduates wishing to specialize in the fields of humanitarian law, international criminal law and procedure, international human rights law, international law dimensions of peace and conflicts, transnational crimes and transitional justice.
Depending on each student’s background and interest, the programme is ideal for careers in the legal and political sectors both at a national and international level, as well as further academic studies.
Through a combination of lectures, seminars and practical exercises selected students will acquire:
- in-depth knowledge on the theoretical and practical aspects related to the investigation and adjudication of international crimes and human rights violations;
- overall comprehension of the functioning of international criminal tribunals, special and hybrid courts and their legacy to national courts;
- familiarity with the principle of rule of law and thorough understanding of the interdisciplinary processes and mechanisms related to transitional justice and justice reform in post-conflict situations and countries in transitions;
- unique insights into the policies and tools of the United Nations, other international organizations as well as national bodies for the prevention, investigation, control and punishment of transnational crimes such as corruption, counterfeiting, environmental crime, smuggling of migrants, terrorism and trafficking in persons.
The academic curriculum of the Master programme is divided into two phases: a residential phase and a final research phase. Upon successful conclusion of the programme, students will receive an LL.M diploma.
The residential phase of the programme is held in an unparalleled setting at the United Nations Campus in Turin, Italy. The Campus is located on 10 hectares of riverside parkland and hosts other national and international organizations such as the ITC-ILO and UNSSC. It annually holds more than 450 programmes and projects involving approximately 11,000 people from over 180 countries and also offers leisure time, dining, and sports facilities to its guests.
The LL.M. is jointly organized by UNICRI and the University for Peace.
UNICRI is one of the five training and research institutes of the UN System. It was established in 1965 and is mandated to support countries worldwide in preventing crime and promoting criminal justice. Over the years, the Institute has developed a sound expertise in research and training, which is reflected in the organization of several capacity building activities and specialized post-graduate courses.
