This course is a follow-up to the compulsory International Law course LAWS2250.
Having reviewed the general structure and principles of international law, this course is intended to round out the coverage of 'general' public international law by focusing on areas only partially dealt with in the compulsory course LAWS2250 and which warrant further consideration in light of their importance. It is envisaged that in 2013 topics covered will be: the law of treaties with a particular emphasis on issues such as interpretation as well as the grounds for invalidity, termination and suspension of treaties; territory in international law, including various interests a State can have in a territory other than sovereignty; State responsibility for internationally wrongful acts; and international organizations as subjects of international law.
