Spend Your Winter Gaining Knowledge

The Faculty of Law at Justus Liebig University Giessen are looking forward to hosting students from all over the world for the 3rd International Online Winter University in International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law. The International Winter University takes place from 4th of January until 13th of January 2024 and offers an in-depth approach to current challenges faced in International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law in the Digital Age.

The program offers you a foundation in International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law before discussing the major debates and challenges that are currently found in these fields of law. This will primarily focus on those issues that are present in both fields of law and consider how similar issues are approached differently. Allowing you to appreciate the differences between International Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law and how both these fields of law, in different manners, seek to protect individuals.

The program combines high-quality teaching by excellent lecturers and practitioners from all over the world.

Credits

  • ECTS

Non-US participants will be awarded 6 ECTS credits. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System [ECTS] is a student-centered system based on the workload required to achieve the objectives of a course. The organization's aim is to facilitate student mobility and therefore simplify the process of credit transfer. The system is based on the assumption that 60 credits equal the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. The student workload of a full-time study program in Europe approximately amounts to 40 weeks per year and in this case, one credit stands for 24 to 30 working hours. For more information on ECTS please visit the homepage of the European Union.

Please note: ECTS credits will only be awarded upon passing examinations.

The aim of the course is to help you

  • develop a critical and analytical understanding of the background of current debates in international humanitarian law and international human rights law;
  • develop a critical understanding of the difference between international humanitarian law and international human rights law by examining similar issues from both perspectives;
  • enhance critical understanding of regulatory limits within a contemporary, fast-moving, and geopolitical context;
  • strengthen a critical and enquiring mind capable of presenting theory-based arguments with coherent evidence about international human rights law and international humanitarian law; and
  • enhance research skills and use of a wide range of primary and secondary materials, national and international law, soft law, and academic sources.

Informationen über das Institut

Justus-Liebig-University celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2007. The University took these celebrations as an opportunity to emphasize its individual subject profile, display its strengths, and present its top-level research initiatives.

The overwhelming success of JLU in the excellence initiative conducted on both state and federal levels proves that the University is ready to face whatever the future may bring. The first of the final rounds of selection within the framework of the excellence initiative, in October 2006, saw JLU outstrip strong competition with two of its projects, the "Cardiopulmonary System" excellence cluster and the "International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture". JLU is thus one of the top-ranking institutions among those competing across the country.

Research and Teaching

JLU combines a broad and interdisciplinary spectrum of research and teaching in the areas of law, economics and business studies, the natural sciences, and the humanities with a range of sub-disciplines that is unique for Germany.

Concept of Equality

JLU is among those German universities with the highest proportion of women students. The University sees this as both a chance and a challenge – to energetically promote an equal-opportunity policy and the lasting integration of women in the knowledge system.

The University in the Region

Giessen is situated in a very picturesque part of Central Hesse and provides a broad range of cultural attractions – especially for students.

Giessen and its surroundings offer a variety of leisure activities – be it water-skiing on one of the many lakes in the vicinity, rowing and canoeing on the Lahn, sightseeing at one of the several castles in the region, or undertaking extended excursions to the nature reserves and recreational areas of the nearby Vogelsberg and Wetterau. Giessen’s cinemas, theatres, clubs, and museums round out the cultural profile of the city.

The City of Giessen

With its 78,500 inhabitants and 39,000 students, Giessen boasts the highest student density of all German towns and cities – a fact reflected in its cultural life. Its picturesque location in the Lahn valley and the surrounding hill country provide for excellent leisure-time value.
