Public International Law

Public international law (PIL) is now a must for understanding national and international issues, such as diplomatic relations, international conflicts, international trade and human rights. This cutting-edge seminar is designed to familiarise you with all the key concepts of PIL, covering a range of topics from the subjects and sources of law to the complex dynamics between national and international law. Participants will benefit from high-quality theoretical instruction and practical workshops.

This course is designed for senior civil servants, directors, and managers of public bodies. It offers a unique opportunity for managers to consolidate their understanding of international regulatory frameworks and to grasp their impact on domestic law. An in-depth knowledge of these international legal dynamics enables managers to operate with discernment in a globalised context, ensuring that their actions and decisions are aligned with international standards and contribute effectively to the achievement of the State’s objectives and responsibilities.
