The Civil Aspects of International Child Protection cover a wide range of legal issues, from the promotion and preservation of children’s fundamental rights and their participation as individual rights holders to the desired collaborative justice through the determination of the competent court and applicable law and the implication of alternative dispute resolution methods; passing through vulnerable families, asylum children and separated children all seeking justice. The subject at stake is transversal, other than topical, and universal in that many international law instruments govern and aim to coordinate protective mechanisms and measures supporting children’s transnational movements across the globe and affecting children’s personal/family statuses as well as their personal and property rights.

This programme attempts to offer advanced training and improve and transfer knowledge through a series of short sessions on actually selected topics. It is advised for anyone interested in international child protection, particularly but not only equipped with legal background. Interdisciplinary dialogue is targeted by this training, the topic being certainly multidisciplinary. It is organized into four half-day online modules.
