LLM students stage international debate
LLM International Human Rights students at Birmingham City University took part in a mock United Nations Security Council session at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London recently. The event provided an excellent academic experience, allowing students to present and debate human rights issues within a mock set up of the Security Council.
Students were also able to gain a better understanding of the intricate workings of the United Nations at the Security Council level. Amna Nazir commented that ‘practice-based learning such as this mock event helps us, as students, to truly appreciate our field of study in terms of what the UN Security Council does, the broad scope of human rights within the international community and why as a result it is quite difficult for countries to unanimously agree on a specific resolution.’
Dr Jon Yorke, Senior Lecturer in Law at Birmingham City University, who organised the event was delighted to receive extremely positive feedback on his students’ performance from members of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office who present the British government’s bilateral and multilateral initiatives; ‘They were extremely impressed and told me we have future foreign ministers among us!”
