Class Public International Law

It is sought that students acquire knowledge about the structure of Public International Law, its foundations and sources, as well as about the way of relationship and interaction of international subjects and the relationship with national legal orders, especially Portuguese. From a material perspective, conflict law and international protection of human rights will be addressed as central aspects of the DIP. It is intended that students are able to appreciate the international news with a critical spirit, seeing the features of normativity and inherent international justice.
