There are many challenges facing the international community in the present day. Hunger, war, disease, terrorism, and environmental degradation afflict the human condition in many parts of the world, including our own. This course will expose students to both the substance and process of international law in an attempt to understand the legal frameworks applicable to many of these problems. The course will also serve as an introduction to the basic principles of public international law and the resolution of disputes thereunder. The final will be an in-class three hour exam. Attendance and participation are required.
