Description
Subject Area: International Relations
This course will encourage you to examine the way in which international law and the Middle East interact. This includes study of the way in which international law has influenced the development of newly emergent states in the region. The promotion of human rights, issues of the use of force, the rule of law and the role of international law in promoting the integration of the Middle East into the broader international community are among the topics you will have the opportunity to address. You will be involved in analysis of the role of the United Nations, especially the UN Security Council and the International Court of Justice, in the politics of the Middle East. You will also undertake specific case studies such as the Palestine-Israel question, Iran, the problem of nuclear proliferation throughout the region and the relationship between Judaism, Islam and international law.
