Online Executive Diploma on International Diplomatic Law for Honorary Consuls – SECOND Edition

About this course

This executive diploma consists of four modules, combining a self-directed online component, containing a mix of pre-recorded lectures from experts, as well as from Heads of State, Foreign Ministers or Ambassadors, who are engaged in the use of honorary consuls, with interactive lessons and information forums. The course will notably cover the codification of the status of honorary consuls in international law, their relationship with diplomatic and consular missions, the contemporary use of honorary consuls, and diplomatic protocol for honorary consuls. Each module has its own learning objectives, as well as interactive online lessons, which guide participants through the contents. At the end of each module a two-day web-based workshop via the platform Zoom led by an expert will explore the practical side of the topic and allow for peer-to-peer learning.

Participants will be expected to engage with pre-recorded material, participate in the on-line learning sessions as well as complete the knowledge assessments in the form of a multiple-choice quiz or a series of short questions. Participants who successfully complete the knowledge assessments of all four modules and participate in all online workshops will obtain a UNITAR Executive Diploma.
