    Hi I was just wondering what qualifications you have? It’s my dream to be a human rights lawyer, I am from the UK but I live in Switzerland. I want to study law and then specialise in international/human rights but I am wondering is there anything else I should do? Intern for the UN? And does this lead to opportunities to be a diplomat or an ambassador? Thank you, I never get the opportunity to ask these questions to actual human rights lawyers. Keep doing what you’re doing and have a great day.

    • @DianaCon
      @DianaCon  Před 4 lety +41

      My dear Gracie, thank you so much for getting in touch. There are endless opportunities at the UN that you can do whilst at school. To practice the legal aspect of international and human rights it is vital that you have a law degree. From there on, you will determine your path. In relation to becoming a diplomat, even though not my area, I understand that there are exams. If you are passionate about positive contribution and been vocal about human rights, I can reassure you that humanity needs you :) There is nothing stopping from starting NOW. I cant wait to hear about your achievements. All the best, Diana

      Hi Vinya, i hope your studies are going well. There are countless of options when shaping your legal career and sometimes it is about trying things out. If you know that you want to be a human rights lawyer and advocacy is an aspect of your interest i would say qualify in your home jurisdiction and then register in the international courts after getting the experience gathered from practicing. I hope this helps.

    Dear Diane, I'm a law student in Italy ( I am in my final stage of studies! :) ), I have already an internship experience for a EU organization in Luxembourg, and I can speak fluently 3 languages.I was wondering if you have any recommendation to give me in order to find my way into the international field. I tried to apply for internships for NATO, but it seems so difficult to get in there, even for an internship :((

    • @DianaCon
      @DianaCon  Před 3 lety +5

      My dear, well done on securing and completing an internship with a EU organisation. This is a huge achievement.
      Turning to your question, international law is not straightforward but that is the beauty of it. It entails diversity, innovative and progressing thinking. The question is not collecting recommendations to find your way into the international field, rather, what does international law need from you? What is your purpose and call? Is it advocacy, being in an NGO, climbing the ladder of international institutions? Focus and identify your goal but at the same time be open and attract the opportunities that may be disguised. Keep me posted. All the best, Diana

I'm a creative type, I love writing, I love film, and photography, but I also have a huge passion for helping people and motivating them. I've often thought about being a teacher or a psychologist, but I don't think that that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I've recently been thinking of studying to be a Human Rights Lawyer, but I've never thought about law before. I would really appreciate if you could maybe give me some advice.
