The LL.M. degree in International Law and Human Rights is taught in English at the prestigious Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty of Law. The two-semester program is open to law school graduates holding an LL.B or J.D. degree who have a good command of English and have a GPA of 85 or above. The program offers students a rich variety of specialized courses in the main fields of international law, including international organizations, conflict resolution, the laws of war, immigration law and international criminal law, as well as key areas of human rights law, including multiculturalism, human rights and counterterrorism and transitional justice. The studies take place in Jerusalem, one of the world’s most complex conflict zones with ongoing human rights challenges, which gives students a unique perspective to the issues being studied. Thanks to its location and high academic level, the program offers a valuable experience to those seeking careers in law, academia, or international organizations. All classes are taught by distinguished legal scholars who are top academics and experienced practitioners. They include legal advisors to international organizations, NGOs and governments, such as the UN and ICRC; members of international human rights organizations; and leading academics from Israel and abroad. One of the faculty members is Prof. Malcolm Shaw, author of the world’s leading textbook on international law. There are both thesis and non-thesis tracks, as well as an internship program offered in conjunction with Hebrew University’s Rothberg international school. Students can apply to the thesis track after the completion of the fall semester if they have an average of at least 85.
