TRUST FUND OF THE JUDICIAL FELLOWSHIP
PROGRAMME
In
accordance with resolution 75/129, a trust fund for the Judicial Fellowship
Programme was established by the UN Secretary-General in April 2021.
Starting
with the 2022 intake and selection process, the trust fund will grant
fellowship awards to selected candidates who are nationals of developing
countries from universities based in developing countries, thereby improving
and guaranteeing the geographic and linguistic diversity of the participants in
the Programme.
Eligible universities in developing countries interested in applying for funding via the trust fund to sponsor their nominees can do so by clicking the link below to start the application process.
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS AND SELECTION
OF CANDIDATES
While it is possible to nominate a single candidate, the Court encourages universities to propose more than one nominee. Universities are strongly encouraged to limit nominations to candidates who have shown excellent results in their legal studies and who have demonstrated an interest in public international law through their studies, publications and/or work experience. The official languages of the Court are English and French, and participants must have excellent reading, writing and oral skills in at least one of them. A working knowledge of the second official language is an asset.
To be eligible, candidates should be 31 years of age or younger at the time the programme begins. This requirement may be waived in special circumstances. In making its selection, the Court seeks candidates of diverse nationalities.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
Candidates
will be asked to submit the following application materials to the Court
through their universities:
- Letter
from the university introducing the candidate(s) to the Court. For universities
financially sponsoring their nominees, the introductory letter must also
include information regarding the university’s commitment to financially
sponsor the candidate.
- Application
form and summary table, filled in by the candidate;
- Two
to three letters of reference;
- Official
academic records of the candidate;
- One
writing sample of no more than 15 pages. The sample can, for example, be from a
previous publication, note or university paper, preferably on a topic of
international law.
NOTE– The Court does not accept applications from
individuals.
