Laws of Armed Conflict

Catalog description

What are the causes and sources of conflicts between nations and governments? What is the dynamism of conflicts? Is there any way to evade these conflicts before they would grow beyond the control of the very governments involved? How can nations prevent or settle these conflicts themselves? What are the rules for conflicts? What are the mechanisms of enforcing rules in conflicts? How does the international criminal justice system work? What are the characteristics of ethnic conflicts and special ways of dealing with them? When and how should conflicting powers involve a third party for the settlement? The course is searching answers for these questions and introducing the main sort of conflicts, the most important applicable rules and ways of their enforcement, most typical ways of settlement, with special emphasis on Central-Eastern Europe.
