The course in International Law is mainly focused on International Public Law, which governs relations between the members of the International Community. Private International Law and International Trade Law, concerning the system of rules applied in the internal legal systems of the States to regulate private legal situations of a transnational nature, will be dealt in brief, in a less extensive manner.

• Subjects of Internationa Law
• Sources of International Law: customs, the law of treaties, general principles of  law;
• Relationship between international and domestic law;
• Consequences of breaches of International Law;
• Settlement of international disputes

The student must : 

•  demonstrate basic knowledges on International law (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING)
