In terms of content, this summer semester will focus on international space law, the law of diplomatic and consular relations and the law of international organizations. The common umbrella represents the year 1979 which is significant for these areas of international law. Forty years ago, the Moon Agreement, the last of the five UN Space Treaties, was signed, the Islamic Revolution in Iran challenged generally accepted principles of diplomatic immunities and privileges, and Vienna became the third seat of the United Nations. In preparation for the topics a number of guest lectures will be offered. The lecture by Professor Steven Freeland (University of Western Sydney) on the subject of the Moon Agreement is already fixed for 28 March 2019. Another guest lecture on the United Nations in Vienna is scheduled for May.
