About this course:

International law is the system of rules governing the relations among states and providing the common principles for humankind. It is a decentralized system, held together by a hierarchy of subordinating, imperative principles, such as good faith, consent and the obligation to fulfill the agreements. The system consists of legal rules, persons and areas of action governed by agreements, customs, general principles and international judicial decisions. This course seeks to explain the basic institutions, functions and problems of the law through case study and assorted international legal essays. Pertinent documentaries are incorporated to augment conceptual understanding of key case studies. Transferable for UC Credit.
