Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this introductory course is to familiarize students with the international dimension of the law early in their legal studies. Increasingly, states are unable to solve their political, economic, technical, social or other issues by themselves or solely within their borders. Understanding domestic law thus also requires a knowledge of international law.The lecture is taught in English in the winter semester, and in German in the summer semester. At least one practical exercise course in English and in German is offered each semester to ensure that students in the diploma degree and the IREWI degree benefit from instruction in the language of their exam in each semester.The examiners strongly encourage students to enrol in a practical exercise course. In addition to increasing the understanding of the subject and the ability to apply principles and rules of international law, successfully completing a practical exercise course is crucial for the exam. Around 75 percent of students who successfully complete a practical exercise course pass the exam, and fewer than 20 percent of students pass the exam without a practical exercise course.
Assessment and permitted materials
The scope of "Fundamentals of International Law" is set out in:- Teaching Materials, “Introduction to International Law / Foundations of Public International Law“, 6th edition, 2023 (or alternatively, the German teaching materials with the same coverage “Einführung in die Internationalen Grundlagen des Rechts: Einführung in das Völkerrecht“, 6th edition 2023), both available at the “Facultas Jus-shop“, Juridicum, ground floor or online https://www.facultas.at/juridicum.- Introductory lecture: the slides for this course are available on the Moodle platform (you need to be registered for course 030477 to access the slides).For the European law part, the following material delimitation applies: The subject of the MP "Introduction to International Law - European Law Part" is the main features of formal and substantive European law. It is about understanding as well as mastering the basics of European Union law. The material covers the script by Thomas Jaeger, "Introduction to European Union Law, Foundations - Institutions - Enforcement - Internal Market Rules" (2021). Alternatively, the German-language script by Thomas Jaeger, Einführung in das Europarecht (3rd ed., facultas, 2020) can be used for exam preparation.There is no exam associated with this lecture, and no alternative ways of examining can be offered. This means that for exchange students the only way is to sit the separate exam (combined with European Union law, for IREWI) in October, November, January, March, April and June. For most exchange students, enroling in courses which are directly examined will be the better option.
