Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The Konversatorium aims at deepening and applying the knowledge gained during the course "030248 KU International Law and International Organisations". The main topics discussed include the prohibition of the use of force, the international protection of human rights, international responsibility and liability, international criminal law, international humanitarian law and international investment law.
International exchange students are welcome to participate in the course. Since the course is mainly offered for students from other fields of studies than law, exchange students who study law as their main subject are encouraged to ensure the recognition of the course by their home institutions in advance.
