Aim of the Course
Few areas of international law have been considered as crucial as international dispute settlement. Its rapid development involves various international courts and tribunals, governments, law firms, civil society actors and other state and non-state actors around the world. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of some of the basic concepts and principles of international dispute settlement, and to give an overview of the range of non-judicial and judicial methods of dispute settlement in public international law. It contrasts the use of these methods in different fields of international law and examines some of the most prominent institutional settings in which international dispute settlement operates. Students will engage in debates and case studies throughout the course and will be encouraged to critically evaluate the differences and common features of various dispute settlement mechanisms as well as their interrelationships, potentials and shortcomings.
