Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This practical exercise discusses decisions of several international courts and tribunals drawn from different areas of international law. This course helps IRWEI students prepare for their oral exam in public international law, but is also open to diploma and exchange students. Each week we discuss a single landmark decision in depth. The course revisits and contextualizes significant cases in public international law with and assess their broader significance for public international law. We will pay attention not just the outcome and legal principles derived from the decision but also their substance as an artefact of diplomatic history.
