About

The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in International Crime and Justice is jointly organized by the Department of Law at the University of Turin (UNITO) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI). The LL.M., which is taught in English, is designed for those who seek a deeper understanding of international criminal law and crime prevention instruments, as well as an increased knowledge of the role and function of international organizations and tribunals operating in this area.

The LL.M. offers students a combination of academic training and practical experience in an unparalleled setting at the United Nations Campus in Turin. It aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of international instruments and tools for the prevention and punishment of international and transnational crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, organized crime and terrorism.

The LL.M. examines legal aspects related to the specific features of international jurisdictions. It also undertakes an extensive up-to-date analysis of the activities of international criminal tribunals and special courts.

The LL.M. lasts 9 months, which comprise an e-learning module (Dates for 2013/2014: November 2013 - January 2014), followed by an on-campus module (Dates for 2014: January – July 2014).

The lecturers are experts from nationally and internationally recognized academic and research institutions, as well as practitioners from the UN System and international courts.
