This course introduces and explores the main topics of public international law with special attention to the Latin American context. It examines the nature and structure of international legal arguments in historical perspective and contemporary practice, considering the regional experience of Latin America. The course’s main assumption is that international law looks different in different locations of the world, despite the universalist pull of the international legal argument. In this setting, the course will analyze the fundamental elements of international law in relation to the particularities of the Latin American context. Specialized international law regimes will also be assessed in connection to specific issues of the regional experience. The course aims to enable students to engage deeply with the foundations of international law, but also to promote a critical understanding of the ways in which international legal practice takes shape in the regional context.
Requirements: Have finished or being currently studying an undergraduate degree.
Language: English.
