Architecture of the United Nations System and Global Governance

In an increasingly globalised world where the importance of multilateral dialogues and cooperation is ever growing, the United Nations remain a central forum for progressing ideas and a platform for action. In the course of the module participants will attend lectures and practical workshops as well as participate in study visits aimed at providing a deep understanding of the functioning of the United Nations system and explaining the creation, structure, mandate, governance and decision-making process of its main bodies and organisations.

Participants will learn more about the main decision makers in Geneva and will have a unique opportunity to meet practitioners from the major institutions, enabling them to strengthen their knowledge of the intergovernmental machinery of the UN System and other international organisations.
