Aim and Benefits of ICJ Judicial Fellowship Programme

The purpose of the trust fund is to grant fellowship awards to selected candidates who are nationals of developing countries and recently graduated from a university based in a developing country, thereby improving and guaranteeing the geographical and linguistic diversity of the participants in the programme.

Trust fund awards are exclusively intended to benefit candidates nominated by universities based in developing countries, which do not have the means to provide financial sponsorship.

In making its selection, the Court seeks candidates of diverse nationalities.

• To be eligible, candidates should be 31 years old or younger at the start of their fellowship. This requirement may be waived only in special circumstances.

• Candidates must have an excellent command, both written and orally, of at least one of the two official languages of the Court (English and French); a working knowledge of the other language is considered an asset.
