The main topics discussed include the prohibition of the use of force, the international protection of human rights, state responsibility, 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.
