We will study particular subject matter areas of international law such as the sources of international law, the law of treaties, the law of the use of force, human rights and world trade. 3. JUSTIFICATION The course aims to provide students with elements that will facilitate the analysis of the historical, economic and social process that has led to the creation of a series of obligations, agreements, treaties and institutions that make up what we now refer to as international law. The goals are to help international relations students to shape views within international relations, to have an understanding of the operation of international organizations and to understand how the evolution of international law has directly influenced the transformation of the international community. Therefore, the course will seek to carry out a historical and political analysis of the new international order. In this way students will have elements to make a diagnosis of the current situation of law, politics and international relations, and will be in capacity to perform an analysis of the prospects and the direction it will take in the future. An understanding of these political forces that move the world is essential for international relations students, and particularly if we consider that the processes of the international community interfere in the daily actions and have implications for the consolidation of the multipolar system prevailing today. 4. GENERAL OBJECTIVES The course has three main objectives: first, to expose students to a theoretical framework on the fundamental principles of public international law and the structures of the international legal system. Second, for students to apply the theoretical framework learned and to develop analytical thinking by engaging in discussions on current issues of international law.
