International Law

MIA International Law Core. This course introduces students to the foundational concepts and contemporary practice of public international law through real-world scenarios and current global developments. Each session blends structured legal instruction with scenario-based simulations, helping students connect abstract legal norms to strategic thinking, negotiation, and policy analysis. Designed for students without a legal background, the course emphasizes the practical relevance of international law to global governance, diplomacy, and transnational challenges.

Students will explore key elements such as treaty law, statehood, legal responsibilities of states and international organizations, and the creation of international norms. These core topics are examined in relation to major policy areas, including human rights, climate and the environment, global health, peace and conflict, and digital governance. Through interactive simulations, collaborative analysis, and case-based exercises, the course equips students with the knowledge and tools to engage with legal frameworks critically and apply legal reasoning to complex global issues.
