Courses

International law governs the conduct of States and other international actors (such as international organisations). It supplies the basic framework for the organisation of the international political process and establishes rules and institutions for regulating different aspects of international relations. It is often in the news - and typically when its basic rules are being violated (such as currently on the territory of Ukraine), prompting many observers to wonder whether international law is really law.
