This
course will explore the complex and subtle art of international law-making and
the key features of international law in a world that seems in a constant state
of uncertainty. Focusing on the variable forms, actors and multilateral
processes that monitor, add to and adjudicate questions of international law,
one of the core aims of the course is strengthening the student’s understanding
of how new rules are created and how existing rules develop along with the global
community in the context of shared values.
