This course is taught in the 2d semester.
Teacher(s): Philippe Couvreur, Joe Verhoeven
Language: French
Level: Second
Aims
This course is part of a coherent cluster. The different professors in charge of a course in the framework of this cluster consult each other on the content and the methods of each course in order to ensure complementarity.
The course is based on participatory teaching methods (learning through projects or problems, review of the relevant case-law and doctrine, debates with guest speakers, field studies ...) which allow the students to develop independently a critical, forward-looking and inventive look on public international law. Students are encouraged to participate and to get involved in learning, which has both an individual and a collective dimension.
Main themes
They may, where appropriate, go beyond the framework of public international law strictly speaking in order to highlight the close relation between this discipline and international private law (nationalization, jurisdiction, investment).
Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)
Material: the text of the judgments and opinions of the ICJ.
Evaluation: oral and written examination.
