1. Course Objectives
Traditionally, international law was the law that governed the conduct of States in
their relations with each other. Gradually, international law has also come to
govern individuals, international organizations and even corporations. In today’s
globalizing world, it has emerged as one of the significant subjects for study. It is
not an exaggeration to state that international law affects every person living on
the globe.
In the light of the growing importance of international law, it is not only desirable
but also imperative for students to have a thorough knowledge of the subject.
Hence, the primary objective of this course is to generate and sustain an interest to
study international law in the minds of the students.
Apart from familiarizing students with the basics of international law, this course
will take their study one notch higher with the introduction of several important
and contemporary areas of international law.
The objectives of the course, in particular, are as follows:
• Introduce students to the definition, nature, sources, subjects of
international law as well as to the concept of recognition and relationship
of international law with municipal law
• Provide students with an understanding of the law of treaties and state
responsibility
• Introduce students to the concepts of use of force, self-defence,
humanitarian intervention, responsibility to protect and sanctions under
international law
• Provide students with an understanding of jurisdiction and immunities
from jurisdiction
• Introduce students to the different modes of settlement of disputes
2. Teaching methodology

The teaching methodology shall aim at the generation of critical thinking among
the students. The topic for a particular class shall be informed to the students
before hand and readings shall be assigned to them for the said topic. They are
expected to have a basic idea about the topic prior to the class. Subsequent to a
brief lecture on the topic, there shall be class discussion on the same as well as on
the readings assigned. Pursuant to the class discussion, the teacher shall
substantiate the issues raised and answer any questions posed or left unanswered.
