Course Objectives The aim of the course is to teach the main areas of public international law together with the basic knowledge of general international law. The objectives of the course include the general knowledge in different areas of international law; the ability to access sources of international law through research; and the ability to use the acquired knowledge in a functional way through practical exercises. The method of the course is to reinforce the knowledge through research, discussion and practical work.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • explain the recognition and succession of states in international law.
  • list the basic principles of diplomatic and consular relations.
  • give examples of international sanctions.
  • analyze the conditions and limits of the use of force.
  • discuss the solutions to current international issues within the framework of international law.
  • criticize the solutions to disputes in practice.
Course Description The course aims to explain the constituent elements of the international legal order, taking into account the mutual influence relations between international legal persons, with current developments. The aim of approaching international law as a compulsory and complementary tool in the search for an accurate and comprehensive view of the complex events in international relations has been the determining factor in the adoption of the course plan and methodology. Therefore, although the general area of public international law constitutes the main content of the course, due to its complementary and complementary features, the main areas of public international law, each of which is a major area, are included in the course content of public international law. The sections of the course dealing with procedural law will be covered in the relevant chapters within the selected majors (existing dispute redress mechanisms - such as international judicial bodies and the conditions of recourse). Similarly, international organizations will be evaluated in the light of current developments by adhering to the reasons for their establishment (such as the United Nations - rules on disputes - rules on armed intervention).
