PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW

The course is aimed at providing an introductory knowledge of principles of Public International Law, that branch of the law that deals with interactions
and relations among states as well as among international and regional institutions. Thus, the course aims to provide understanding of the contemporary dynamics involving the role (s) of individuals in the
international system; the fundamental principles and nature of the international legal system; and the role and importance of international law in modern human societies. It will also give students a basic
understanding of the role international law plays in post-genocide Rwanda. Apart from the above, this course is also intended to provide students with an opportunity to become familiar with research and
analytical skills in international law systems and processes. Recognizing that dynamic nature of international legal processes, this course has been designed to stimulate critical and imaginative thinking
among students both as individuals, and as collective subjects of International Law.,,,,
