Notes

The course explores the relationship between law and politics in the conduct of military operations and conflicts. It introduces students to the legal framework applicable during armed conflict. Through a case study approach, we will analyze how the law is applied and what the main challenges are. We will focus in particular on the war on terror, the war in Syria and the movement of refugees across the Mediterranean Sea.

During the course we will visit a courtroom and watch a film.
