On Wednesday, 29 April 2026, students of the International Program, Undergraduate Law Study Program, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, had the opportunity to gain knowledge at the Centre of International Law, Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore.

Cornelius, S.H., LL.M.

“The internationalization program continues to be developed and expanded by providing opportunities for students to undertake studies outside their home university, including at reputable foreign universities such as the National University of Singapore. The Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore becomes one of the focal points of the visit for students of the International Program, Undergraduate Law Study Program, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, with the expectation of deepening their understanding in the field of international law, which is currently a highly relevant topic in addressing global issues.” Thus stated Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Law Study Program, in his opening remarks at the welcoming session held at Bukit Timah Campus, National University of Singapore.

A matter of great pride is that one of the alumni of the International Program, Undergraduate Law Study Program, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, namely Johan Fahlepy, S.H., LL.M., also delivered a presentation to the students. “The reputation of the National University of Singapore is built not only on academic excellence but also on other fields such as research. This university is highly supportive, particularly for researchers who possess strong research capabilities and align with the vision and mission of the National University of Singapore. At the Centre for International Law, the research focus is directed towards exploring several aspects of international law (ranging from humanitarian law, diplomatic law, environmental law, refugee law, to air and space law), including training, and currently also focusing on improving the quality of international law education (TRILA). Each year, the Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore actively organizes Teaching and Researching on International Law (TRILA), which has been one of its flagship programs since 2018 to support the strengthening of international law capacity among academics and researchers in Asia.” stated Johan Fahlepy.

Johan also shared that initially, he did not believe he could be accepted as a researcher at the Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore. This demonstrates that selection based on research capability is prioritized over educational background. Although Johan is an alumnus of FH UII, his research competence has been the key to his successful career at the Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore. Currently, his research focuses on treaty-making and ASEAN.

“If one becomes a researcher at the Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore, one of the main advantages is the opportunity to meet judges from international judicial institutions and professors in international law who possess strong global research reputations. Almost all judges of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have attended, either to teach or as keynote speakers, at the National University of Singapore. From this, academic relationships and scholarly discussions continue sustainably, resulting in numerous research outputs and publications of international standard and quality.” Thus explained Mr. Conrado M. Cornelius, S.H., LL.M.

Before entering the class, the students were invited to tour the Botanical Garden, which has been recognized by UNESCO, as well as to observe the old building of the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. The event concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session. Several students appeared enthusiastic in asking questions and preparing their careers in the field of international law.

This activity is part of international exposure that can directly provide positive impacts, particularly in increasing self-confidence and preparing to compete in the international arena. In addition, their involvement in classroom discussions will provide a distinct experience, especially in terms of enhancing learning motivation.” Thus added Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Law Study Program.
