Contents
Public international law contains a body of general principles, norms and rules created to be applicable irrespective of the subject-matter at hand, for instance the rules on treaty creation, 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, law of the sea, humanitarian law, world trade law, refugee law and international criminal law. The course aims at providing an insight into a number of specific branches of international public law examined in the light of treaty- and of the law on state responsibility.
