Vakinhoudelijk

The Public International Law course aims to introduce students to the most important general tenets of international law. These are the following: the nature and structure of international law; the sources of international law, with particular attention to treaty law; the subjects of international law; jurisdiction and immunities; state responsibility; peaceful settlement of disputes, the international law of peace and security and the role of the United Nations therein.

We will study the societal and political context in which international law functions, and through which the law has adapted and evolved over time. Attention will be paid to the social context of international law, with seminars in which the students are taught to apply the legal framework to current and pressing issues and debates.
In addition to the social context of international law, we will pay particular attention to the discipline’s so-called "academic context". Students will learn to develop legal analytical and argumentation skills.
