Comprehensive Examination

SPECIAL PERMISSION REQUIRED FROM GLOBAL ED TO REGISTER. UNAPPROVED STUDENTS WILL BE DROPPED. This course provides an opportunity to study international law and global governance structures in both academic and practical settings. What is international law? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Who implements and enforces it? In this course, we will address these questions by examining four major dimensions of international law, including the laws of war, human rights and humanitarian law, international trade law, and international environmental law while on campus during Spring Semester. Then, we will travel to Geneva, Switzerland, and Strasbourg, France, to visit the United Nations Headquarters and meet representatives of various UN agencies in Geneva engaged with international law. We will also travel to Strasbourg, France, to visit the European Court of Human Rights (Council of Europe) and the Parliament of the European Union. We will also engage with academics and NGOs involved in bringing international law and global governance to life.
