Overview
Course description
The International Law course from The University of Edinburgh provides students with an introductory overview of international law as an academic discipline. The focus will be on public international law, which regulates relations between various actors including states and international organisations. Students will learn about essential concepts such as the nature of international law, its sources, the law of treaties, its relationship with national laws, and its subjects.
In addition, the course will critically assess the effectiveness of international law and offer legal reflections on issues such as the role of international institutions (particularly the United Nations) and the use of force in international relations. By the end of the course, students should have developed a good understanding of the fundamentals of public international law and be familiar with basic international legal concepts.
