Master International Law
-
Objectives
The LLM International Law provides a comprehensible and clear guide to the complexities of international law in the twenty-first century. Critical issues including globalisation, international terrorism, the legitimacy of the United Nations and other international legal institutions, the limits of unilateral state action and the relations between the first and third worlds, are studied from a detailed legal perspective. This course examines international law in action and in the context of a decade when, arguably, there has never been greater need for conflict resolution and effective regulatory structures at an international level.

Entry requirements
