LAWS355

This course is an introduction to public international law, which consists of rules, institutions and practices that bind the international conduct of states and non-state actors. The course is divided into two parts. The first part examines the history and normative boundaries of international law (including actors, creation and compliance), while the second part focuses on key areas in international law: legitimacy, terrorism, the use of force, international criminal law, and a case study (the U.S.).
