More than 600 auditors from all over the world attended summer courses every year, including a number of them selected and funded by the United Nations following a very fruitful partnership between the two institutions. This link exists and regularly gives rise to a General Assembly resolution welcoming THAIL's contribution to the dissemination and teaching of international law. It is in this context that the Academy organized four 'side events' at the UN Headquarters during the International Law Week in October 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022.  This year's Side Event of the Academy (October 2023), exceptional because of the institution's Centenary, will for the second time host as its two guest speakers the Registrar of the International Court of Justice, H.E.
