Open and legitimate elections are at the basis of both sustainable development and effective democracy.

This support takes the form of electoral assistance projects and election observation missions, all activities that requires skilled and trained observers.

The course 'International Electoral Observers' organized by the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC), will introduce the students to election observation starting with introductory remarks followed by lectures in plenum on the history of electoral observation, international legal standards, observation methods and missions functioning. Work groups, case studies and simulations will actively engage the participants who will look closely into all different steps of an electoral observation mission.
