Because of the initiative of the member of the Commission, eminent professor and former dean of the Washington College of Law of the American University, Dr. Claudio Grossman, and the Academic Director of the CEI, of the Master’s in Diplomacy and International Public Service, and professor of the Faculty of Law of the UB, Dr. Helena Torroja, has begun a line of work in the CEI aimed at studying current issues in the phase of codification and progressive development within the framework of the International Law Commission of the Organization of Nations United.
One of its first projections has been the celebration of a joint Conference between some students of the Master in Diplomacy and International Public Service and the Washington College of Law. The Conference took place by videoconference last April.
Those students who voluntarily joined the initiative, doing their Master Final Project on topics of the ILC, under the direction of the professors Dr. Ángel Rodrigo and Dr. Marta Abegón presented the following topics:
After the presentation of each student, both Professor Grossman and the students of the Washington College of Law formulated questions and comments, establishing a fruitful dialogue.
In addition, it is planned to attend the next session of the ILC in Geneva, during the first week of July, of these students together with professors Dr. Helena Torroja and Dr. Angel Rodrigo. There they’re going to participate in some of the sessions of the ILC and they’re going to attend the commemorative events of the 70th anniversary of this body. They’re also having the opportunity to share and personally meet the WCL students and Professor Grossman and Professor Jennifer de Laurentiis.
We are very pleased with this collaboration with Professor Claudio Grossman and his students at the WCL, which is so enriching for the students of the Master in Diplomacy. Participation in new editions will be held in the next academic year, for our future students.
