We are in virtually in Geneva!
On the first day of the virtual field trip to Geneva, the students of the class of 2020/2021 had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Morse Caoagas Flores, human rights officer of the Indigenous Peoples and Minorities Section of OHCHR.
The session was very informative and inspiring. The students received information on the drafting process of an international human rights treaty, the relationship between UN specialized agencies and the development of international standards, and the importance of ensuring inclusiveness in international forums so that everyone has a seat at the same table.
Also, Mr. Flores offered them several tips on applying for future internships and job positions at the UN.
During the afternoon, the students attended the 78th session of the CEDAW Committee, which is currently reviewing Denmark’s ninth periodic report.
