International Law Advanced

The course is designed to give students a global understanding of the rules governing the issue of international responsibility and, ultimately, provide them with practical skills in legal reasoning and arguing on both cases and current events that give raise to questions regarding the addressed topics. It aims not only at equipping students with appropriate knowledge of the issues examined in class, but also with the tools to address legal questions originating from a practical case, to acquire language skills and, in the long term, to apply international law principles in a professional and competent manner and, before that, in moot court's competitions (like for example the Jussup Moot Competition).

By the end of this course, students should be able to:
- Have a deep and detailed knowledge of public international law on States responsibility; - Acquire ability to argue and evaluate complicated international legal issues, also arising from current events; - Understand and evaluate critically legal issues regarding international responsibility; - Acquire communication skills (written and oral) as regards the issues dealt with in the course and use them also to argue with logical and legal thoroughness and propriety of legal language.
