The course "Law of International Organisations" aims at reflecting these developments by introducing the student to the major aspects of the topic, however, with a strong focus on international law. Students will acquire an understanding of inter alia the issues and concepts of legal personality, membership, creation of law by international organisations, but also e.g. the issue of international responsibility of international organisations. Students will be required to participate actively in the classes (students will be expected to present their views on the issues when asked and to respond to questions in the class), follow the current developments in international community, work with relevant documents and literature and fulfil tasks assigned to them.
