Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This mandatory course offers a comprehensive introduction to foundational areas of Public International Law (PIL), with a particular focus on two central domains: (i) the sources of PIL—specifically the law of treaties and customary international law—and (ii) the legal regime governing state responsibility for internationally wrongful acts. Part I explores in detail the law of treaties, covering the processes of treaty formation, interpretation, and termination. It also addresses the complex legal challenges posed by treaty reservations. In parallel, the course delves into the constitutive elements of customary international law, examining them in light of recent jurisprudential developments and the practice of the International Law Commission (ILC). Part II focuses on the responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts. It analyzes the key components of this regime, i.e. breach of an international obligation and attribution, and engages with central doctrines such as circumstances precluding wrongfulness, the content and consequences of state responsibility, and the law governing countermeasures. Throughout the course, students will develop an advanced understanding of how core international legal norms are created, interpreted, and contested in both theory and practice. This will be achieved through a blend of doctrinal analysis, critical reflection, and applied learning—including guest lectures, structured debates, and case-based discussions.
