Description

This course will focus on the international settlement of disputes as governed by established principles of public international law. It examines the obligations of states to peacefully settle disputes in accordance with the UN Charter and the types of disputes that arise within the international system. It then focuses on the types of dispute resolution mechanisms including non-binding mechanisms (eg negotiation, mediation), international courts (in particular the International Court of Justice), arbitration, claims commissions and specialist adjudicative bodies (like ITLOS and WTO) that are now available for these inter-state disputes.

Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes is one of the postgraduate elective subjects for law. It fits within the International Law, Dispute Resolution and Human Rights and Social Justice streams of the LLM and is an approved elective for the Master (and Graduate Diploma) in International Law and International Relations, the Master (and Graduate Diploma) in International Law and Security, the Master (and Graduate Diploma) in Human Rights Law and Policy and the Master (and Graduate Diploma) in Dispute Resolution.
