Aims

This course proposes an in-depth study of specific questions of private international law (conflict of laws and conflict of jurisdictions). It aims at acquiring a better understanding of the policy and of the way the rule of law is implemented in practice.
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

The course focuses on the influence of fundamental rights on private international law in Europe. It analyses the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights and of the EC Treaty on private international law
