GNLU students to get a feel of global law practices
ACADEMIC STINT ABROAD
Ahmedabad: An exposure to international law practices
is exactly what two students of Gujarat National Law University
(GNLU) are waiting for as their academic stint comes to
an end. These final year students, who just took their
final exams, have been selected to do projects in international
agencies.
Konark Rai, one of the two students, will be joining United
Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITR). Rai
has been selected to be a trainer in environmental laws.
The other student, Nisarg Desai, has been selected to
assist the Indian member of the International Law Commission
(ILC) for the 62nd session of the commission between July
5 and August 6.
“After clearing number of selection process, including
telephonic interviews and our academic scores in the university,
I was finally told that I was selected. It was a great
feeling, but it got bigger when in their further communication
they shared that I was the third Indian ever to get a
chance at UNITR,” said Rai.
Rai added, “I will start with training Indian diplomats
on environmental laws. Within few weeks, once I have studied
environmental laws of other countries too, I will graduate
in training other diplomats also. This was a dream come
true for me and for my family.”
Desai said, “The ILC has members from 34 countries,
India being one of them. I will be assisting this member
with research and preparatory work for the meeting. I
have also been given a chance to attend the plenary sessions
of the 62nd session of the commission. I will get a feel
of various areas as I will research on whatever topic
the commission takes up.”
