Master’s Thesis part 2

In the course 'Contemporary Issues - Privatissimum' students will investigate and discuss contemporary developments in international law. The objective of the course is to engage students in a critical reflection at a theoretical level. The whole course relies on students’ own research. The research must be carried out within the theoretical framework that is provided. Students must go beyond the provided background materials to succeed in this class. Students must prepare materials for each class.

International organisations play an important role in today’s international society. This course offers a comparative study of the institutional law of international organizations. Although each organization has its own legal order, institutional problems and rules of different organizations are often more or less the same, and an impressive body of institutional rules has been developed. International organisations have much in common, such as rules on membership, institutional structure, decision-making and decisions, financing and legal personality. The course discusses the law and practice of a number of international organizations, such as the United Nations and the European Union.  While covering a diverse array of organizations, it will demonstrate that there is both unity and diversity: not only does each organization have its own specific rules and practice, but there are also common rules, principles and practices.
