Description

The principles of the laws of nations in peace, war and neutrality, and selected issues.

Public international law is the law governing relations between entities having international personality and contributes to orderly dealings in the international system.  It prescribes modes of action or abstention and defines what states, international institutions, individuals and companies must or must not do in certain areas and defines how they must or must not do it.  This course examines the nature of international personality and how roles and obligations are defined and put into place within the international community.  The course will focus on the following topics: The Characteristics and Sources of International Law; The Law of Treaties; The Domestic Implementation of International Law; International Personality; Acquisition of Territory; Jurisdiction and Immunity from Jurisdiction; and State Responsibility.

Students should note that Laws 324 is a pre-requisite for a number of advancing international law courses (see individual course descriptions for details).
