Learning outcomes of the curricular unit

The main goal of the course is to enable students to acquire basic knowledge of public international law. 

Because international law is an autonomous legal order, its study involves the acquisition of fundamental concepts necessary for further depth study in this area. Furthermore, the study of this curricular unit enables the amplification of interests and challenges, some taken by more traditional paradigms. First the notion of state, then the law itself. This means, first of all, to understand the historical context of the  emergence and development of international law, and their specific conceptual frameworks
