Methodology:
The course is conducted through both lectures and in-class discussions, with an extensive reliance on primary materials (treaties, resolutions, official declarations, and decisions of international courts).
The relevant materials are indicated for each topic in the course syllabus. Students are required to read them carefully before coming to class. Additional readings are also suggested for students who wish to go further on topics of particular interest.
