Marco Sassòli, Professor, University of Geneva
Tutorials – Katja Schöberl
Course Description
The course stems from contemporary practice in the field of IHL. The main learning method will be inductive, i.e. students will acquire knowledge of IHL by discovering and discussing its rules applicable to practical cases taken from contemporary practice. This means that students have to prepare for every class and acquire their knowledge of the relevant IHL rules through their own reading before the relevant case or subject is discussed. Complementary to this inductive learning method, the professor will present, in the form of lectures, a conceptual and theoretical framework covering what has been learned from a case, issues not appearing in a case, and particularly difficult and controversial subjects.
