The course also means to provide the students with the ability to analyze international documents, to study international cases and controversies and to come up with appropriate solutions. Students are expected to be able to correctly recognize the essential elements and the functioning of the rules of public and private international law, as well as to analyze and solve practical cases with reference to the main features of the subject (application of treaties, international responsibility, determination of the law applicable to cases with extraneous elements). The course endeavors to foster the student’s capacity to utilize in an appropriate fashion the legal language employed in the field which constitutes the subject matter of study and the ability to argue with independence of judgment and by the means of evaluation instruments aimed at correctly applying the rules that have been studied.

For what concerns public international law, the course concerns the study of the sources of international law, with particular reference to customs and treaties, the analysis of the subjects of international law and their features as well as of the bodies for international relations. The efficacy of international rules in the domestic legal system, the rules of international offences and responsibility, international controversies and their solution (arbitration and jurisdiction), the collective security system, the use of force are also subject of analysis. With regard to private international law, the course concerns the sources of private and procedural international law (national, international and Community sources), the international competence of Italian judges, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Law applicable to cases featuring elements related to foreign countries, the structure of a rule of international private law, the cases and criteria of connection, as well as the application and interpretation of international private law provisions are also subject of analysis.
