About
Diplomacy in Motion
Join the next generation of global leaders in Amsterdam. An academic course combined with an immersive UN simulation.
The UNISCA Foundation is an organization within the University of Amsterdam (UvA). We were founded in 1997 as a student initiative with a vision to bring international relations to life.
Today, it serves as an academic component of both UvA's Bachelor Political Science program and its Bachelor PPLE (Politics, Psychology, Law & Economics) program. We are responsible for annually organizing the UNISCA summer school and conference.

People are dead. A vital water network in the Kalahari borderlands may be contaminated. And as families move to survive, they hit a hard wall: a restricted corridor tied to nuclear security. Who is to blame seems clear, but can you hold them accountable? Namibia brings this case to the ICJ on behalf of the transboundary San Communities in an effort to preserve their way of life. South Africa’s lockdown around a sensitive military zone unlawfully cuts off life-sustaining routes tied to culture and survival. But they aren’t South African citizens: aren’t border control, and national security, key points of sovereignty? No responsibility for what began on the other side. At the core is a sharp question: who’s really in charge when disaster strikes? States, regulators, or the corporate power behind the operation? You’ll argue high-stakes law at the edge of security, environmental harm, and human rights, and you’ll have to make it persuasive under pressure.
