Courses

This course focuses on the relationship between global security issues
and the peaceful settlement of disputes in international law (PDS).
First, it provides an overview and understanding of the methods of PDS, which range from negotiation to the use of international institutions to recourse to binding forms of settlement such as judicial or arbitral proceedings.
Second, this course explores how PDS relates to diverse global security issues in the 21th century, while employing a broad understanding of ‘global security’ that emphasizes interlinkages between security and global challenges such as environmental protection, human rights and migration.

Niklas Reetz, Christian Tams
In this module the students will receive a basic introduction to public international law, a body of rules that govern the conduct of States and other international actors (such as international organisations).
Two main aims will be pursued:
* First, to present to students the 'infrastructure' of public international law - its sources and actors, its impact on international relations, and its limits.
* Second, to illustrate how rules of international law shape international cooperation in important areas of international life, with a focus on the central areas of the ILAS Master Programme.
