| Course Description | This course provides students with an understanding of the international legal security architecture. The course will review the legal regulation of the resort to force (jus ad bellum) with the starting point being the moment of the transition from natural law framework of just war through to more contemporary positive law prescriptions. Post 1945 developments will form the core of the course with an outline of the international security framework represented in the United Nations Charter. Particular emphasis will be placed in analysing the role of the Security Council in addressing threats to international peace and security along with a detailed consideration of the right of individual and collective self-defence as reflected in the UN Charter. Associated topics to be covered include assessment of the criteria of `armed attack', the rescue of nationals, intervention by invitation, the doctrine of humanitarian intervention and the emerging concept of `responsibility to protect' |
