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.
