Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will discuss landmark decisions of several international courts and tribunals. Each weekly seminar will be devoted to an in-depth discussion of a single landmark decision. Readings will be extracts from the assigned cases and from the course book.

Cases discussed include Mavrommatis, Lotus, Island of Palmas, Corfu Channel, Legal Status of Eastern Greenland, Trail Smelter, Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, South West Africa, Barcelona Traction, Nuclear Weapons, The Wall Advisory Opinion, Jurisdictional Immunities of the State and the Chagos Advisory Opinion.

The course revisit and contextualizes significant cases in public international law with the benefit of hindsight. Significant attention will be paid to not just the consequences of each case (e.g. actual outcome, legal principles derived from the ruling) but also their substance as an artefact of diplomatic history.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Class Participation: 40%, and 2 Reflection Papers 60% of the final grade. There is no exam.

To stimulate discussion, participants will write two response papers concerning two cases over the course of the semester. A response paper can consist of any or all of critique, summary, elaboration, expressions of disagreement or puzzlement, and so on – as long as it is directed to the case for the next class.

Response papers should be 1000 words long and need to be uploaded via Moodle 48 hours prior to the relevant class. They need to include the participant’s name, email address and word count.
