“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
The International Law programme aims to give law graduates and others an in-depth appreciation of the law in relation to key international law subjects as well as an understanding of the context within which international law operates. The programme provides an opportunity to develop understanding of the core elements of international law through the Principles of Public International Law module and the International Dispute Resolution module. Principles of Public International Law examines issues such as the sources of law, personality in international law, jurisdiction, state responsibility and the enforcement of international law. International Dispute Settlement provides a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms available to resolve international disputes and their operation.
In addition there is an opportunity to develop breadth and depth of understanding in the currently topical and controversial areas of the protection of human rights and international criminal law. There are two optional and complimentary modules on human rights - International Human Rights; and Regional Human Rights Systems and one on international criminal law - Individual Criminal Liability in International Law. Students looking for a more commercial focus may select from: World Trade Organisation Law; the Law of the Fair Trade Movement and Competition Law. For those interested in family matters there is International Family Law which considers, inter alia, international divorce, child abduction, transfrontier custody disputes, inter-country adoption and the international recovery of maintenance.
