Knowledge and Comprehension
A student attending the International Law course on a regular basis is expected to gain a basic knowledge in public as well as private international law.
Expected Practical Skills
Being capable of first level problem solving in laws enforcement (such as the interpretation and application of norms to cases drawn from State practice).
The Course of International Law is structured into two parts. The first one (21 lessons) deals with general issues of International Law, the second one (6 lessons) deals with the international protection of human rights. The course will be carried out by ex-cathedra lessons and the analysis, within the class, of some cases drawn from the relevant case-law.
Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
