Programme

The course aims to offer a broad, multi-disciplinary view of law. Law cannot be analysed, studied, understood using only the categories of positive law itself. Law is in itself a social phenomenon. In addition to a normative reading of the content of law, historical, social, political, economic and cultural observation is always desirable. During the course, an in-depth look at the semantic fields of peace and war, human rights, state sovereignty, criminal justice and imprisonment will be taken.
