About
“The Kathmandu Dialogue” is an International Summer School being organized at Kathmandu, one as a global event and a yearly event with an idea to host young international law and relations enthusiasts in the lap of the Himalayas where they can discuss, deliberate, debate and find solutions for issues collectively and learn from internationally recognized faculties. Thus, we are inviting students pursuing Bachelors & Masters in Law, Political Science, International Relations or any other Social Science field to apply. The summer school is also open to young scholars and academicians who are no more than 6 years in their profession. The theme of the program shall be The Asian Century – Understanding Geo-Economics and Geo-Politics in Asia
Objective of the International Summer School
The major objective of this program is to provide a meaningful platform for students, to make themselves genuinely qualified to represent themselves in National, Regional and International programs and to develop an interest to represent their country in the days to come. – Initiative for increased Asian academic and professional discussions on issues of International Law, its prospects and challenges in the Asia Pacific. – Development of research and consistent dialogue on different facets of international law, the role of regional organizations, and regional mechanisms, the position of developing countries and growing powers. – Promote intellectual debates and develop academic institutions.
This program is specifically being designed for academic assistance and encouragement of students to critically debate, write and discuss international law issues. For that purpose, this program we believe will address the absence of a platform of understanding international law from a different perspective, respective states position in international affairs, conducting in-depth research, ability to give legal reasoning’s on International Law, including Human Rights, Rights of Refugees and Humanitarian Law.
