Description
This course shall attempt to identify (or, at least, to reflect upon) what is here called an uncensored history of international law.
- Does international law possess a history, or a set of historical engagements, upon which we infrequently pronounce?
- Is all history of international law known and identifiable, or are there aspects that are ritually neglected or varnished for modern sensibilities?
- What is this history, why may it be described as uncensored and what, if anything, does it tell us about the character of international law?
Taking on various topics and themes (ranging from slavery to sovereignty), this module will place great emphasis on the sorts of actions from the past that we describe as international law and, in so doing, we shall attempt to mark out the full tasks and purpose of the discipline.
