The optional course provides an introduction to Public International Law. It is divided into 10 lectures that present both some basic concepts and principles of PIL and selected areas (branches) of this legal order. Even though the course starts from basic concepts, as some students have not yet studied PIL and need to learn the basics, it also includes certain lectures that go well beyond the mere introduction. This means that students with some knowledge of PIL can also benefit from the lectures and learn more.
