International Law

The teaching of International Law deals with the basic characteristics of the international community and the structure of the international legal system. The course is devoted to examining the main concepts of international law looking at their historical, political and social reality, in the light of the jurisprudence, the practice and the international case law. This exam will provide students the necessary background to study the teachings of the third year, especially European Union Law.

The course aims primarily to allow students to understand and master the fundmental legal institutes of International Law, the main legal problems that characterize each of these aspects, and to forge their ability to frame the contemporary world in light of International Law tools. This objective is pursued both through traditional lectures and through the active involvement of students in the discussion of relevant international case law.
