Hi
I am a law graduate from the Mahatma Gandhi University ( class of 05 )
I worked for 6 months with International Justice Mission ( International NGO, HQ in D.C ) in India as their Legal Counsel and currently working as Project Assistant with Common Wealth Human Rights Initiative again in India.
I was wondering if someone would know some good Univ
which offers LLM in Human Rights Law and also which could give me a scholarship based on my work exp.....
I prefer something in Europe !!!!
I was largely intersted in programe in Sweden but i unfortunately missed the last date....

Hi, check the programme in internationa law and the law of international organizations in the Groningen University in Netherlands with specialization in Human Rights Law. I am going to follow the regular programme of the LLM if I will not be accepted in Leiden.

Hi!
I know that the University of Essex (UK) offers an excellent LLM in Human rights law. A number of the teachers have worked with the UN etc. And I guess that they have some scholarships, that would well fit within their approach. They are a very international university. I think that the Swedish unis (Lund, Stockholm) have good programs, and they are free.

Having already done PGD in Human rights, International Humanitarian and Refugees laws, PGD in International Law and Diplomacy, PGD In Journalism,PGD In Cyber Laws,PGD In IPR Laws,Diploma in UN and International Understanding, I intend to pursue PHd in Europe. Please guide me about the universities that can offer scholarship

Agree that Essex University proposes a very good LLM in HR law. So you can try to get Chevening scholarship to cover your fees. My friend has done so...

HI
I have taught human rigthts in Bahir Dar University for the last two years on top of this I am serving as the director of BahirDar University Law Faculty Human Rights and Free Legal Aid Center as of 13 Jun 2006. I am very interested to attend my post grauate on human rights in Univ. of Lund and I have also got a sponsor who can cover for me 16,000 EUR. So is there any probablity to study my LLM in the Unniversity in 2007/08?
kind regards.

It shouldn't be a problem. The tuition at Lund Law school is free. Since Room and Board are been taken care of by your sponsor then you on the right track.
I got a friend in Lund that coach soccer there. Maybe I can hook you with him to show you around. I am due to study LLM in Human Right Law at Lund in 2008. Maybe I see you there.
