This course aims to provide insight into the operation of various branches of public international law. In so doing, it helps students to prepare for further studies in Master courses on international law. It moreover enables them to expand their oral and written skills, especially through active participation in the tutorials, and through a simulation of the work of the Human Rights Council that forms part of that series.

Public international law contains a body of general principles, norms and rules that are applicable irrespective of the subject-matter at hand (e.g. the rules on treaty creation, treaty interpretation, and application and the rules on state responsibility). At the same time, particular areas of concern in international relations have led to the creation of various specific branches of international law, including human rights law, environmental law, trade law, humanitarian law, and international criminal law. Since it is impossible to engage in an exhaustive overview within the span of a semester, the present course offers students an in-depth understanding of a selection of the specific branches of international public law.
