- clearly present your findings both orally and in writing to legal specialists as well as non-lawyers
- actively participate in debates over contemporary international law issues

Modalità di insegnamento
The duration of the course is 60 hours (9 credits).
The course will be articulated in lectures, aimed at framing the key issues and providing a critical appraisal of the subject, and in breakout groups, for activities such as discussion, brainstorming, or the analysis of specific cases and problem questions.
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, during the second semester of the a.y. 2019-2020 the course was taught through e-learning modalities (see the Moodle webpage of the course) and in particular audio files, synopses of the different topics, reading materials, 4 mandatory exercises and other optional exercises (with individual feedback), chats and forum.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
!!! NEW EXAM MODALITIES during the LOCKDOWN !!!
2019-2020 ATTENDING students on the Moodle Platform
Please check the information on the exam modalities on the Moodle platform.
2019-2020 NON-ATTENDING students
I will evaluate non-attending students through an oral exam (this is the Ateneo preferred choice).
The day of the exam, during the Webex session that will be open to everyone, I will ask you 3 questions on the entire book.
Even if, up to now, you have not followed the course activities on the Moodle, you are still in time to do it.
I will check your attendance status 5 days before the exam, when registrations to the exam will close.
2018-2019 STUDENTS
IMPORTANT: the written exam is replaced with an oral exam!
The day of the exam, during the Webex session that will be open to everyone, I will ask you 3 questions on the entire book. In fact, as agreed last year, attendance status for 2018-2019 students expired on July 2019.
To better organise the exam session, I will send you a tentative calendar of Webex meetings.
You will be divided in small groups and I will give you a specific timing to access the Webex platform.
The exam sessions may last for a few days, but in this way I hope I will manage to make things as smooth as possible, also for those living in a different time zone.
