What's this about?

The newest addition to YPN’s activities, the UN & the Law programme aims to raise awareness of the UN’s pivotal role in developing and applying international law
across the areas of development, human rights, and peace and security.

International law features prominently within most aspects of the UN’s work; and UN & the Law will work to bring a legal perspective to YPN’s other strands of activity. We plan to organise seminars and other events and to provide opportunities for young professionals to engage more fully through guest articles and discussion forums.

 

 

Recent event:
