Overview
Public International Law is a complex area of law, dealing with the system of laws created by States, courts
and tribunals operating at international, regional and national levels. This module addresses that complexity
by examining the sources of international law and the subjects of that law before addressing the question of
sovereignty. This question is addressed both at a territorial level, which allows for a discussion of land,
sea and other areas, and at a state level, which allows for a discussion of issues such as jurisdiction,
privileges and immunities and state responsibility. Having addressed the complexity, the module concludes
with a case study on the use of force in international law.
