Exam modalities for ATTENDING students

• Attending students will have to act either as applicant or respondent in a dispute before the International Court of Justice and write a memorial. The facts of the case will be illustrated in class and the research/writing of the memorial will be done both in class and at home in two consecutive days. The simulation will take place only once in April 2024 and attendance is mandatory for both days. Exact dates will be communicated in class at the beginning of the course.

Exam modalities for NON-ATTENDING students

• Written exam with open questions (4 questions will be proposed and you will have to provide an answer to at least 3 of them) on the entire textbook.
