Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will discuss landmark decisions of several international courts and tribunals drawn from different areas of international law. 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.
The course is open to diploma students, IREWI students, Erasmus and other exchange students.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students may not miss more than 2 classes over the course of the semester. Grades are based on class participation and 2 response papers.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
