This course provides an introduction to public international law and offers a rigorous foundation for the various advanced courses and seminars offered in this field. The study of international law in other contexts does not bar the taking of this course. The core areas addressed are (1) the sources of international law, particularly customary international law and treaties, (2) the nature of the state, international organizations, and non-state actors, (3) the ways in which international law can be used in domestic court litigation, particularly in the United States, (4) the extent of a state's jurisdiction outside of its territory and its immunities from the jurisdiction in the territory of others, (5) the law of the sea, (6) international human rights, (7) international environmental law, (8) the use of force, and (9) trade and investment. Throughout the course, we will discuss the force and relevance of international law, as well as introduce theoretical perspectives regarding international law that have developed over the past several decades.
