Our International Law course offers students an introductory overview of rules, practices, and norms that regulate relations between nation-states and other subjects of international law, such as international organizations. Students learn fundamental concepts, including the nature and sources of international law, and the relationship between international law and national domestic law. Students also study the obligations international law imposes on state actors and explore cross-cutting themes involving the law of war and the use of force, respect for fundamental human rights, and other peremptory norms of international law. Additionally, students are introduced to the role and effectiveness of international organizations in tackling global challenges and shaping the international order.
