We will explore how international law addresses the major challenges humanity faces as we pay special attention to current events. The challenges are numerous, including ethnic or religious conflicts; international terrorism; violation of human rights; the unilateral use of force; degradation of the environment; and the North/South divide. Traditional international law primarily regulated relations between and among nations. But today it seeks to influence and regulate the conduct not only of states and governments but also of non-state entities multinational corporations, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and individuals as well. Public international law, comparative law, international organizations, and international economic law international business, international finance, and international trade law are all closely interrelated. While this course studies the public side of international law, the discipline combines both so-called private and public aspects. In this era of globalization, every lawyer, no matter what her/his career path, cant afford not to be familiar with international law; or perhaps we should more appropriately call it transnational law. The topics addressed in this course include the nature and sources of international law, customary international law, treaties, how international law is applied domestically, the extent of a states jurisdiction (authority and control) outside of its territory, sovereign immunity and act of state, nationality and statelessness, and the laws governing the use of force and those applicable to armed conflicts. COURSE OBJECTIVE My goal in this course is to ensure that students who take only one course in international law acquire a strong working knowledge of the subject. For those taking this class as a first step toward the study of more advanced international law, this class will provide a solid foundation. The primary purpose is for students to understand the doctrinal rules of international law that governments, courts, the United Nations, and other international bodies interpret and apply. The secondary purpose is to further develop skills in the following areas: analytical thinking, problem solving, speaking and writing, and case briefing and analysis. Successful completion of this course should equip the student to 1) appreciate and articulate important rules and principles of international law; 2) recognize challenges and issues related to international law when presented in hypothetical and unfamiliar fact patterns; and 3) communicate, orally and in writing, appropriate arguments in support of each side of controversies involving such challenges and issues.
