The course aims to systematically and critically introduce the foundations of PIL, and is taught by teachers with diverse background and expertise in the field. The history, nature, legal persons and how PIL interacts with domestic law are considered in-depth. These are followed by more serious topics such as jurisdiction, sovereignty, the role of the United Nations, the law of state responsibility and pacific settlement of disputes between states. Some substantive areas such as law on the use of force and self-defence are covered to enable students fully understand why and how war is banned/regulated under international law.
