UTA/UNITAR campus on international trade Organized jointly with the University of Texas at Austin and in cooperation with the World Trade Center (WTO) United Nations Headquarters, New York   Introduction to the Campus Diplomats in multilateral settings are increasingly required to deal with the complex issue of international trade. The University of Texas at Austin (UTA) and UNITAR have therefore jointly launched the annual UTA/UNITAR trade campus series. The objective of the campus is to provide an intensive and in-depth programme addressing international trade issues of particular importance to the delegations based in New York. Objectives for the 1999 Campus  In response to the feedback and evaluation received from the 1998 campus, in 1999 the UTA/UNITAR trade campus will mainly focus on the following issues: Trade in Services, Regional and Multilateral Trade Agreements and Dispute Settlement Mechanisms. The campus aims to provide delegates with state-of-the-art knowhow on matters relevant to international trade and the laws that govern them, and give them a hands-on opportunity to develop their negotiating skills. Organization The campus will offer a combination of lectures and case studies, with input from practitioners and academics in the respective areas. It will include simulation exercises for dispute-settlement mechanisms. The programme is intensive, requiring the active participation and involvement of all the participants. Certificates will be awarded to participants who complete the course.
