Internship Opportunity: Contribute to the UN International Law Commission with RRU

Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) Centre for International Law invites applications for the 77th Session of the United Nations International Law Commission (ILC). This is a unique chance for law students, faculty, and researchers to engage directly with international lawmaking under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Bimal N. Patel, elected to the ILC with a historic 163 votes in the UN General Assembly.

Why This Matters?

The UN International Law Commission (ILC) plays a vital role in shaping global legal frameworks on issues like state responsibility, immunities of officials, sea-level rise, and accountability for crimes against UN peacekeepers.
Prof. Patel has introduced innovative topics such as legal aspects of accountability for crimes against UN peacekeepers and continues to emphasize Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – “the world is one family” as a guiding principle.
Students and emerging scholars now have the opportunity to contribute to this historic work through research assistantships and internships.
