DDRO 25A93 - International Court of Justice

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. By the end of the course, students are expected to be familiar with the Court's role within the broader framework of international justice, with its history, legal structure, and organs, the sources of law it applies, and the procedures governing contentious cases and advisory opinions. Students will also be introduced to incidental proceedings and potential procedural developments during the post-adjudicative stage. The course will involve an analysis of the Court's current docket and of its jurisprudence through the study of landmark cases that have shaped its history and the history of international law more broadly.
