Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course will enable students to understand the key concepts of international criminal law (ICL) as a branch of international law and its institutional framework. It will familiarize them with the contemporary ICL discourse, including divergent interpretations of legal questions and policy considerations.
Topics include the evolution and doctrinal foundation of ICL; the concept of individual criminal responsibility; genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, the crime of aggression; enforcement mechanisms on national and international levels, with a special emphasis on the International Criminal Court; transitional justice.
The course will be taught interactively, using a combination of lectures and class discussions.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Online assignments plus class participation.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

For a positive evaluation, participants are required to complete six written assignments (short online tests or case studies) (70 per cent) and participate actively in class (30 per cent).
The written assignments are research based and serve as preparation for the upcoming class. They must be handed in before the respective topic will be discussed in class.
The current plan (based on the assumption that presence teaching will be possible with precautionary measures) is to teach the course personally in class and stream it simultaneously. Participants will be separated in two groups with alternating presence and online sessions.
Update (18.9.):
-) All confirmed participants are kindly requested to physically attend the first session on Tuesday 13 October:
Group A 12-12.50h: confirmed participants #1-30
Group B 13-13.50h: confirmed participants #31-60
Group C 12-12.50h: online participation of all participants on the waiting list (a link will be sent via u:space on Monday 12.10.)
-) Participants with health preconditions who wish to complete the course entirely online, please contact the lecturer.
