What sort of conduct is regarded as so utterly unacceptable that it is a crime under international law? How is international criminal law created? And how can individuals be held to account for international crimes?<\/p>\n<p>This course will help you explore the answers to these questions \u2013 answers which, as you will see, are seldom clearcut. It will not turn you into an expert in international criminal law \u2013 that would take many years of study and practice \u2013 but it does aim to give you a solid basis on which to build, including knowledge and understanding of key institutions and processes of international law as well as the substantive law itself.<\/p>\n<p>If you study the course attentively, you will become familiar with both the most important primary sources of the law and leading scholarly commentaries on it. You will gain an awareness of many tensions, problems, controversies and ambiguities in the law, and you will develop critical and research skills that will help you monitor and assess further developments.<\/p>\n<p>Students are advised that the subject demands some previous knowledge of public international law.<\/p>\n<h3>Module A: General context and international crimes before national courts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>LWM30A<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>International law principles of State jurisdiction<\/li>\n<li>Customary international law and treaty law<\/li>\n<li>Direct criminal responsibility under international law<\/li>\n<li>Treaty provisions requiring States to criminalise conduct (including terrorism and torture)<\/li>\n<li>Piracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Module B: International criminal courts and tribunals<\/h3>\n<p><strong>LWM30B<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jurisdiction and structure of international criminal courts and tribunals<\/li>\n<li>Co-operation with international criminal courts and tribunals<\/li>\n<li>Investigations, prosecutions, evidence and procedure before international criminal courts and tribunals<\/li>\n<li>Fair trial rights appeals, revision and enforcement of sentences before international criminal courts and tribunals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Module C: The core international crimes (crimes within the jurisdiction of international tribunals<\/h3>\n<p><strong>LWM30C<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The elements of international crimes<\/li>\n<li>War crimes<\/li>\n<li>Crimes against humanity<\/li>\n<li>Genocide<\/li>\n<li>Aggression and crimes against peace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Module D: General principles of international criminal law<\/h3>\n<p><strong>LWM30D<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aut dedere aut judicare (\u201cextradite or prosecute\u201d) and unlawful abductions<\/li>\n<li>Jurisdictional immunities<\/li>\n<li>Modes of participation in crimes, and concurrence of crimes<\/li>\n<li>Defences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Assessment<\/h3>\n<p>Each module is assessed by a 45-minute unseen written exam.<\/p>\n<h3>Sequence<\/h3>\n<p>Starting with A, modules must be attempted in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contact Us info @ uol-law-tutors.com For Class Times And\/Or One-On-One Lessons.
