The United Nations Regional Courses in International Law are conducted under the United Nations Programme of Assistance in the Teaching, Study, Dissemination and Wider Appreciation of International Law. The United Nations Programme of Assistance was established by General Assembly resolution 2099 (XX) of 20 December 1965 to contribute towards a better knowledge of international law as a means of strengthening international peace and security and promoting friendly relations and cooperation among States.

The Regional Courses are organized by the Codification Division of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs. The Regional Course for Latin America and the Caribbean is organized in cooperation with the Government of the Republic of Chile and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
