| Main themes |
The course does not embark on a comparative description of the establishment, membership, functioning, legal personality, competence and powers of international organizations. Rather, it purports to highlight the stakes in these questions for general international law. The course thus essentially deals with the question of how the international legal order accommodates itself to international organizations.
Against this backdrop, the main topics to be addressed are:
- international and internal legal personality
- intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations
- membership and observers
- privileges and immunities
- competence and powers
- legal acts (treaties, "secondary legislation", etc.)
- responsibility of international organizations and of their member States
- statutory sanctions
- countermeasures
A particular consideration is devoted to the United Nations.
|
| Aims |
The course aims at enabling students to acquire a thorough knowledge of the basic legal issues revolving around the creation and the activities of international organizations, and the ensuing "institutionalization" of international relations.
|
| Evaluation methods |
At the end of the year, a written examination in English takes place to assess the knowledge acquired by the students. Students have three hours to answer around 4 questions. Some of the questions may consist of a casus or a commentary of a judicial decision or any other document.
During the examination, students may consult documents (treaties, resolutions,...) as well as judicial decisions referred to during the lectures. Handwritten comments on these documents are not allowed, except for cross references to other pages or articles. Underlining or highlighting text is also authorized as well as the use of bookmarks.
