An officially recognised Master’s degree focused on active consultancy in conflict resolution, public policy, social issues, international relations, geopolitics and legal consultancy in operational settings
The only official Master’s degree in Spain designed to train specialists in operational law, international humanitarian law and human rights as applied to conflict environments.
War has changed; conflicts are now hybrid in nature, whilst cyber-attacks and grey areas constantly challenge traditional international law. This programme prepares professionals to tackle this complexity, from the conduct of hostilities to transitional justice, international mediation and operational legal advice.
The teaching staff comprises practising experts, operational legal advisers, members of international missions, researchers and specialists affiliated with leading international organisations and centres.
