Dr Philippa Webb has been appointed Director of Studies (English-language section) for the summer 2022 Public International Law session at The Hague Academy of International Law. The Hague Academy is the oldest centre dedicated to research and teaching in international law. Its prestigious summer programmes have been running since 1923. The Academy is based in the Peace Palace, alongside the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

The Director of Studies appointment, which is by invitation only and decided four years in advance, was communicated by Professor Jean-Marc Thouvenin, Secretary-General of the Academy, on behalf of the Curatorium of the Academy. The Director’s role is to prepare a group of advanced students for the Academy’s Diploma examination. The examination is extremely competitive and the Diploma is awarded only sparingly, usually to two or three candidates per year.

Dr Webb is the current Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes at The Dickson Poon School of Law.
