Semester 1, 2015

This subject gives an overview of the basic principles of international law and would be a useful foundation for those studying international relations, politics etc or interested in international law in general. However, this subject is not essential to studying other international law electives and Furthermore, there is very little ‘hard law’ involved which some may find frustrating. This subject would suit those who enjoy policy issues and thinking critically.
