Master International Law

An integrating approach to International Law: interdisciplinary, contextual and humanistic.

The Master of Laws in International Law is intended for anyone who wishes to be trained as an internationalist with a humanistic, comprehensive and contextualized vision of International Law, equipping professionals with skills and knowledge to respond appropriately to the demands of complex social problems requiring legal solutions.
