1 INTERNATIONAL LAW (academic year ) Time: Monday, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Lecture room: Aula Giuridico of the Department of Political and Social Studies Teacher: Carola Ricci carola.ricci@unipv.it Office Hours: Thurdays, 3-4 p.m. (Giuridico 1st floor, follow signs to Accademia dei giurisprivatisti europei ) Course Aims and Objectives: The course aims at presenting the latest developments in the theory and practice of international law rules governing the relationships between the various subjects and entities of the International Community. In particular, it aims to deepen students understanding of the fundamentals of international law-making mechanisms, and to enquire into the extent to which these are changing to adapt to the new demands of the International Community itself. There will be a special focus on the field of the protection of fundamental human rights and the punishment of international crimes. Course Structure /Description The first part of the Course is meant to provide a survey of international law making processes. The way international rules come into being and how they operate in the international legal system will be the core of the analysis. Although the main focus is on customary and treaty law, due attention will be paid also to general principles of law and soft law. The second part will deal with statehood and limits to domestic jurisdiction, with special emphasis on immunities and responsibility of the States to protect human rights through the analysis of the relevant case-law of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The third part will be devoted to the judicial reaction to the commission of international crimes by the ICJ, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and International Criminal Court (ICC); a study visit to one or more of such international courts will be arranged around the end of the Course for those students who are willing to participate [note: each student has to organize the trip by his/her own and pay for travelling and lodging expenses]. Should the study visit turn out not to be feasible, lectures by prominent International Law Scholars will be organized on the same days. Course Materials - Background readings and on-line multimedia materials Since the Course requires the basic knowledge of the fundamentals, for those who have never taken any exam in International Law, I recommend at least the following materials: 1. LOWE V., International law, OUP, Oxford, 2007, Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5; 2. CLAPHAM A., Human Rights. A very Short Introduction, OUP, Oxford, 2007, Ch. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8; 3. The readings can be complemented by listening to the following lectures, available at the website of the United Nations Audiovisual Library of International Law ( 3.a: Judge Christopher Greenwood, The Sources of International Law, at the following link: 3.b: Judge Thomas Buergenthal, A Brief History of International Human Rights Law, at the following link: 3.c: Mr. Kevin Riordan, Basic Idea about International Criminal Law, at the following link: - Main Reference Textbook 4.
