This course provides an introduction to the main concepts and principles of public international (PIL) with specific emphasis on their practical impact on the conduct of international affairs. It is structured into three parts. The first part focuses on the foundations of PIL (subjects, sources, principles and relations between international and domestic law). The second part deals with three major areas of PIL, namely the law of treaties, the law of State responsibility and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. The third part will be devoted to some specialized areas of PIL, such as international environmental law, human rights law, and the law governing economic development. The course is primarily intended for students enrolled in the LLB and IR (international relations) programmes, but it is also open to other students specializing in disciplines other than international law.
