Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The class is addressed to law students with at least a basic knowledge of public international law (sources of international law, principles of international law, role of states and individuals). The class will focus on a legal analysis of several decisions rendered by international courts and tribunals during the last decade and put the legal issues in their political context. International affairs and politics continuously shape international law. Up until the early 20th century, international law in fact was not seen as a separate discipline but rather a continuation of politics at the international level. Yet, international law binds states and creates rights and obligations for its subjects. Questions answered throughout class include: Can political conflicts be settled by law? What is the function of the ICJ as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations in the settlement of international disputes? Are judgments by the ICJ "effective"?
