Boldizsár Nagy Full description:
The course - designed for students with no legal background - covers major chapters of public international law, including the fundamental principles (also exploring the debates on the use of force), the rights of the individual, (human rights, refugee law, international criminal law), the rules of international transactions (law of treaties, diplomacy), the settlement of disputes (responsibility, methods of settlement, the International Court of Justice) and the law of natural resources (sea, outer space, freshwaters). Although the approach is mainstream and aims at presenting law as it is applied by the international subjects and tribunals, critical thoughts will repeatedly penetrate discussions. The reader reflects the diversity of international legal writing: it contains chapters from major textbooks, articles from leading European and US journals, and primary sources.
