As summer slowly comes to an end, here’s a little throwback to our end-of-year cocktail ☀️

We’ll let the video speak for itself, capturing all the laughter, friendships and lively debates that shaped our students’ year at the Academy. ❤️

We are pleased to announce that Professor Frédéric Bernard has been appointed Co-President of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, effective 1 July 2026.

A Full Professor of Public Law at the University of Geneva’s Faculty of Law since 2019, Professor Bernard brings expertise spanning administrative and constitutional law, human rights, climate and environmental law, and counter-terrorism. He succeeds Professor Christian Bovet as the Co-President representing the University of Geneva, and will work alongside Professor Paola Gaeta, who represents the Geneva Graduate Institute as Co-President.

We also take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Professor Bovet, whose connection to the Geneva Academy stretches back to its very foundation in 2007, when he served as Dean of the University of Geneva’s Faculty of Law. His dedication and leadership over nearly two decades have been invaluable to our institution.

‘The programme has strengthened my ability to connect the work we carry out on a daily basis with its legal foundations.’

Mohamed Shehab is a Humanitarian and Protection Specialist at the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, with field experience spanning Libya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria, Jordan and beyond. He is currently completing our Executive Master – MAS in International Law in Armed Conflict — all while working full-time.

In his testimonial, Mohamed reflects on why international law matters more than ever in today’s world, how he navigated the programme through a personally challenging period, and what it has brought to his professional practice.

His story is a powerful reminder of who this programme is built for: practitioners committed to making international law count in the real world.

Fully online. Part-time. Academically rigorous.

Our students benefit from the presence of teaching assistants in class who are PhD candidates at one of our parent institutions, the Geneva Graduate Institute and the University of Geneva.

Each year they share insights into their research in an informal research showcase led by our Coordinator of Professionalizing Activities, Gregory Pasche. We would like to thank Kiana, Revaz, Victoria and Shima for taking the time to speak to the students and for fielding all their questions so generously!

🎓 What does life look like after the Geneva Academy of IHL and Human Rights?

This spring, our LLM-MAS students had the privilege of hearing directly from alumni who have built careers in international law and human rights — right here in Geneva.

Over two evening sessions in the Cassese room at Villa Moynier, alumni shared their journeys: how they navigated the job market after graduating, the skills that proved most valuable, and the lessons they wish they’d known earlier.

The informal dialogue format — followed by drinks and snacks on the terrace — created exactly the kind of candid, honest conversation that a classroom rarely can. Students left with practical advice, new connections, and a clearer sense of the paths ahead.

A huge thank you to our wonderful alumni for giving their time and expertise.
