Student visit: UN office in Vienna

On October 13th, the Export students of 5th semester paid a visit to UN office in Vienna (under the auspices of Chair for Intl. Law and Global Political Studies). The first part of visit was composed of introductory lecture on the UN in general and followed by the documentary movie and two standing UN exhibitions (ODC and OOSA).

The second, more substantive part of visit was a lecture on the mandate/role and work of the UN Commission on Intl. Trade Law (UNCITRAL), given by high-ranking UNCITRAL official Mr. Spiros V. BAZINAS. During the 90-minutes tour-de-table session, the IMC fellow students had the opportunity to learn about the practical implication of the UNCITRAL work as well as to hear thoughtful and inspiring answers on series of their questions.

Summing up at the end of this content-intensive and extremely valuable event, Mr. Bazinas stated that he was impressed by interest, commitment and knowledge of our students as demonstrated throughout the questions and discussion with him, and expressed the wish to regularize such visits as by addressing forthcoming generations with the UNCITRAL-related issues.
