Umfang	3 Semesterwochenstunden
Inhalt	This course focuses on current issues of public international law. These may include, inter alia, nuclear non-proliferation, the peaceful use of nuclear energy, peace and security questions (including the question of the use of force and of self-defence), the “race for the arctic” and the issue of state responsibility.As the course will be held in a seminar-like style, i.e. emphasising class discussions, active participation in the class is expected. In addition, guest lectures will give further insights into the questions discussed in class. Please observe: The fact that the course is held in English should not deter students from attending. School knowledge of English will be perfectly sufficient to attend and participate in the classes.
Voraussetzungen	Basic knowledge of public international law.
