| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| This course aims at providing an information on the basic principles of Public International Law, besides addressing in particular the law of state responsibility and the settlement of disputes in International Law between sovereign states and international entities such as International Criminal Court), Private International Law (Addressing questions of jurisdiction in conflict), and Supranational Law (The set of collective laws that sovereign states voluntarily yield to). But this basic definition must be supplemented with three more-complex explanations—is international law really law, the way the laws of the United States, enforced by courts and police, are? Where do we find the rules of international law? Are they written down somewhere? Finally, how is international law enforced, if there is no world government? | |||||

| Course Contents | ||
| Basically defined, international law is simply the set of rules that countries follow in dealing with each other. There are three distinct legal processes that can be indentified in International Law that include Public International Law (The relationship between sovereign states and international entities such as International Criminal Court), Private International Law (Addressing questions of jurisdiction in conflict), and Supranational Law (The set of collective laws that sovereign states voluntarily yield to). But this basic definition must be supplemented with three more-complex explanations—is international law really law, the way the laws of the United States, enforced by courts and police, are? Where do we find the rules of international law? Are they written down somewhere? Finally, how is international law enforced, if there is no world government? | ||
