This course aims to provide a concise account
of the basic concepts of international law. After
focusing on the debate on the nature of international law
and its political and historical underpinnings, it will
explore the sources of international law and the relations
between international and municipal law. States
and governments, international organisations,
companies and individuals will be examined as subjects
of international law. More specific issues, such as
treatment of aliens, jurisdiction, treaties,
state succession, the law of the Sea,
air and outer space and will examine human rights, peaceful
settlement of interstate disputes, and
the law of war will complete the agenda of this course.
