WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT RECENT GENEVA STUDY
TRIPS

" The trip to Geneva really put International Law
in general and Human
Rights advocacy in particular in perspective for
me. Contrary to what I
had envisaged, we were not only observing
Committee meetings and 'taking
in the atmosphere', as it were - we were also
engaging in conversation
with Committee members, learned members of the
legal profession, and
other observers and advocats... in short, it was
more than worth the
money. Perhaps less to the point but just as
importantly: it was brilliant fun
as well." - AB University of Essex

" I would like to go again " - CD University of
Liverpool

" A very rewarding experience " - EF University of
Sussex

interest, must

Because of additional security concerns, I have
been asked to forward ID

ask you to register as soon
as possible.
Students are free to make their own travel and
