An overview is provided of the public international law system as a whole and expectations and ideas regarding actors, legal positivism and negotiations are problematized.
In particular, the course focuses on customary law, treaty law, states sovereignty and state responsibility, which are all part of public international law and central to the functioning of human rights law in the international legal system.
