Corsi di Studio del Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza

All the materials for students attending the course will be made available through the teaching platform (Moodle). It is therefore essential and compulsory that all the students enrol in the Moodle teaching platform to have full access both to materials, discussions and communications

The exam consists of a written exam, where students must be able to expose the contents of the lectures (or, if they do not attend the lectures, of the book), connect them and use them as an interpretative tool for real issues. The mark is expressed in 30/30.

The final mark is made 50% of the mark of the Moot court presentation and the debate and 50% of the mark of the exam, provided that this latter is equal or higher than 18/30. 

For those who wish to pass the exam as students attending the lectures the Moot court and the debate are compulsory.

After a first part devoted to the introduction of international environmental law and its main actors, lectures will focus on the analysis of the principles of international environmental law developed by international tribunals:

-          Prevention

-          Precaution

-          Polluter pays principle

-          Non regression

-          Common but differentiated responsibility

-          Transparency

-          Sustainable development

This part will be followed by presentations by students and by other activities (see below).

For those who are attending the lectures the exam is based on the content of lectures, on material provided via the Moodle platform and on presentations. Presentations by other students are part of the program and can be among the objects of the exam.

For those who are not attending the lectures the exam is based on the following volume: Dupuy, International Environmental Law, Cambridge University Press, 2018, parts I, II, III
