POE-335 International Law
This course examines the nature of international
law including its sources, scope, and
effectiveness in a world of sovereign states and
international organizations. Focused attention is
placed on the general relationship of
international law to diplomacy, human security,
human rights, and the global environment. Using a
case study approach, students will explore
questions on topics such as extraterritoriality,
war crimes, genocide, refugees, the law of the
sea, and governance of the environmental commons.
