The Right to Due Process In a broad sense, due process is interpreted here as the right to be treated fairly, efficiently and effectively by the administration of justice. The rights to due process place limitations on laws and legal proceedings, in order to guarantee fundamental fairness and justice.

Dal 1996 l'Alta Scuola di Economia e Relazioni Internazionali (ASERI) dell'Università Cattolica ha formato alle carriere internazionali numerosi giovani provenienti da diversi continenti e ha organizzato numerosi seminari e corsi di alta formazione rivolti a persone direttamente impegnate nel settore della cooperazione. Il MACIS è il risultato di questa consolidata esperienza e di un network diffuso di relazioni internazionali con università, ONG, istituzioni pubbliche e private operanti nei Paesi dell'America Latina, dell'Asia, dell'Africa e del Medio Oriente. Il Master è organizzato in una serie di corsi, moduli e workshop tenuti sia da docenti dell'Università Cattolica e di altre università italiane, sia da professionisti di organizzazioni non governative, agenzie internazionali, enti pubblici, associazioni e fondazioni che operano nel settore della cooperazione allo sviluppo. Il MACIS avrà inizio nel mese di gennaio 2010 presso la sede dell'ASERI. Le lezioni si svolgeranno da gennaio a maggio, tutti i giorni dal lunedì al venerdì. Dal mese di giugno e fino a dicembre gli studenti potranno svolgere lo stage ed elaborare il loro project work finale. DEADLINE: 4/12/2009
