Course Description

Public International Law-II builds upon the introductory knowledge on international law by, initially, engaging with state-related issues. These issues diversely range from subjects of international law, the criteria of statehood and theories of recognition, to state responsibility and state succession. The course, then, focuses upon the structure and composition of international organizations probing their function within the particular contexts of international use of force, settlement of disputes by peaceful means and the application of humanitarian law. The course, finally, considers international aspects of criminal and environmental law, and provides a basic introduction to the complex law of the sea focusing, principally, upon legal debates on territorial seas and exclusive economic zones.
