Main themes The course covers the main themes which make traditionally part of the study of public international law, and will emphasize, where appropriate, the relationship between this discipline and international private law. The course will present the following themes: - general concepts; - subjects of international law; - sources of international law (as well as the relationship between these sources and national law); - international responsability; - counter-measures; - peaceful settlement of disputes; - collective security; - regime and protection of spaces; - protection of persons; - basic rules of international trade.
Aims The aim of this course is to make students familiar with the basic rules governing the international society, composed primarily of States, and to analyze the issues that may be raised by their enforcement in national legal systems, especially in the Belgian one. The purpose is also to enable students to better understand current international events with the perspective of the legal rules governing international relations.
Content The course is divided into 6 parts, the first four being taught by Pierre d'Argent and the last two by Joe Verhoeven: 1. Sources of IL 2. Subjects of IL 3. International responsibility and sanctions 4. Use of force and collective security 5. Pacific settlement of disputes 6. Law of common spaces (rivers, sea, air, space, Antarctic…)
