To date, more than\u00a0<a class=\"a_link\" href=\"https:\/\/legal.un.org\/poa\/rcil\/past_regional_courses.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thirty-five Regional Courses<\/a>\u00a0have been held in various countries. With the advent of regular budget funding for the Regional Courses beginning in 2016, Regional Courses are held for Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean every year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"p_faqs\">Financial arrangements<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those participants receiving a fellowship, the fellowship will cover travel, accommodation, meals, medical insurance, and training materials.

With the exception of training materials, self-funded participants bear all costs associated with their participation in the Regional Course (e.g. travel, medical insurance, accommodation and living expenses).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"p_faqs\">Dispositions financi\u00e8res et logement<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pour les participants qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront d\u2019une bourse, celle-ci couvrira les frais de voyage, le logement, les repas, l\u2019assurance maladie, et l\u2019ensemble du mat\u00e9riel de formation.

Candidates must also be fluent in the language in which the Course is offered (French in 2026). The selected candidates are required to certify that they are able to attend the course in its entirety. The Regional Course accommodates up to 30 participants.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This Regional Course is open to candidates from Member States of the United Nations which are also members of the\u00a0<a class=\"p_faqs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/Depts\/DGACM\/RegionalGroups.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">African Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><strong>Selection process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When selecting participants for the Regional Courses, due consideration is given to the candidates&#8217; qualifications, to the scope of their professional duties, to the relevance of the training to their professional duties, and to gender balance.\u00a0<strong>Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>The United Nations does not charge a fee at any stage of the application and selection process. The United Nations does not concern itself with information on candidates\u2019 bank accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>Do I have to submit my application via my sponsoring institution or my Government?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">No. Your sponsoring institution has to fill out certain parts of your application form, but you can send the completed form directly to the Codification Division of the Office of Legal Affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>Can only Governments nominate candidates to attend the Regional Course?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">No. The Regional Course is also open to academia and professionals from intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and similar institutions engaged in international law activities in the relevant region. Current staff members of the United Nations are not eligible. Candidates who are not government officials can be nominated by the institution which they work for or with which they are affiliated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>What is the difference between fellowship participants and self-funded participants?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Fellowship participants and self-funded participants are selected through the same application process, and are subject to the same selection criteria. They have the same rights and obligations in the Regional Course, attend the same lectures, participate in the same activities, and receive the same certificate at the end of the course.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For participants receiving a fellowship, the fellowship will cover travel, accommodation, meals, medical insurance, participation in the Regional Course and the training materials. Fellowship recipients will also receive a modest stipend to cover other living expenses in accordance with the policies and procedures governing the administration of United Nations fellowships.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For self-funded participants, costs associated with their participation in the Regional Course (e.g. travel, medical insurance, accommodation, living expenses) will not be covered. However, training material are provided for all participants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>What does the stipend provided for fellowship participants cover?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The stipend that fellowship participants receive reflects local living costs (food, public transport, etc.) and suffices for a decent but by no means luxurious living standard. Accommodation is provided without charge. The stipend rates are set by United Nations regulations and can vary significantly from year to year, depending on the US Dollar exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The fellowship covers medical insurance; however, many medical institutions require advance payment for services. The stipend does not include funds for such advance payments and selected fellows should therefore bear this in mind when preparing for their stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>Does it make sense to apply for the Regional Course for someone who is still a student?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">No, the Regional Courses provide training for professionals who have acquired some practical experience in the field of international law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>I have applied for the Regional Courses in the past but was not selected. Can I re-apply this year?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Yes. You will, however, have to submit a new complete application to the Codification Division of the Office of Legal Affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>Is it possible to attend only part of the Regional Course or only those courses that are of particular interest to me?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">No. If selected, you undertake to attend the Regional Course in its entirety, without exceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_faqs\"><em>Can the same country nominate several candidates?<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Yes.
