International Law II

LAWS6167

This unit of study consolidates and builds upon knowledge gained in International Law I. Whereas International Law I considers the general problems of public international law, and its foundational principles, International Law II examines how international law is created, implemented and enforced by national legal systems and through international organisations. Initial attention is given to understanding different ways in which law's transboundary impacts can be understood by considering international, transnational, global and comparative perspectives on law-making. The relationship between international law and domestic law is explored in depth, both in a comparative perspective and with particular reference to the impact of international law on Australian law and legal institutions. The unit also considers the ways in which international organisations are established and function to develop and implement international norms, and assesses contemporary concerns relating to the development of global administrative law and anxieties surrounding the potential fragmentation of international law.
