The International Court of Justice (ICJ) invites applications for the University Traineeship Programme for 2020/2021. Participation in the programme is limited to nominating universities that accept the conditions indicated in the post description and meet the additional requirements set out below.
Application Deadline: 14th February 2020.
Offered annually? Yes
Eligible Countries: All
To be taken at (country): The Hague, Netherlands
About the Award: The programme was established in 1999 in order to enable recent law graduates to gain experience working at the ICJ. It aims to improve participants’ understanding of international law and of the Court’s processes by actively involving them in the work of the Court and allowing them to build on their experience under the supervision of a judge.
The University Traineeship programme is intended to give recent law graduates experience working at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Candidates are nominated and sponsored by universities from which they have graduated.
Type: Internship
Eligibility:
Selection: While it is possible to nominate a single candidate, the Court encourages universities to propose more than one. Universities are also strongly encouraged to limit applications to candidates who have excellent results in their law studies and who have demonstrated an interest in international law through their studies, publications or work experience. The Court does not accept applications from individuals.
Number of Awardees: The programme is highly selective. The Court accepts up to 15 participants a year – not more than one from each nominating university
Value of Program: Each nominating university must accept the responsibility to provide the stipend, health insurance and travel costs to its candidate, if selected. The stipend should be sufficient to provide for a minimum standard of accommodation and subsistence in The Hague and should be set at a level that ensures that trainees can benefit fully from their experience at the Court without the burden of financial hardship. The Traineeship is not a self-funded internship and candidates without adequate financial support through their sponsoring university will not be eligible. The Court will facilitate visas if necessary and provides working facilities, but it does not provide financial support.
