Inhalt: This module provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of (public) international law and human rights. What is international law? What is international law for? Do human rights really make a difference in the lives of individuals? We will reflect on these and other questions over the course of 14 weeks, with the aim of gaining a solid, general understanding of international law and human rights, which will then allow for further, more specialised, explorations. The course is structured around key themes and topics, including the history, nature and sources of international law; the subjects of international law; the relationship of international law with domestic legal systems; substantive rules and principles of international human rights law and its various institutional structures; the workings of international courts and tribunals; use of force, including ‘humanitarian intervention’; and the methods and mechanisms related to compliance with and enforcement of international norms. Through reading and discussing international legal texts, including caselaw of international and domestic courts (such as the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG), among others), students will acquire the skills necessary to understand the functioning of international law in particular settings, as well as national decision-making in key areas, and be able to think with international rules and principles in resolving concrete problems.
