Course Description): ?Inter-State Law?, as generally known, has considerably changed and developed. Structural framework of international relations has changed. In our day, examining only inter-state relations does not suffice. In addition to the basic & general framework, numerous new topics, inter alia, law of the sea, air law, human rights law, law of armed conflict, international criminal law, use of armed force by states, collective security law also need to be covered. Aim of this course is to carry knowledge of the law student with respect to public international law, to an up-to-date level. Topics covered also include current international legal challenges; thus, some missing dimensions are complemented.
