Jurisprudence and international law as a course explore the foundational principles and theoretical underpinnings of law, as well as the rules governing relations between states and other international actors. The study of jurisprudence delves into the philosophy of law, examining different schools of thought, such as natural law, positivism, realism, and critical legal studies. It analyzes the nature of legal systems, the role of morality in law, and the relationship between law and society. 

International law, on the other hand, focuses on the legal framework that regulates interactions between sovereign states, international organizations, and, in some cases, individuals. This includes topics such as the sources of international law, the principles of sovereignty, treaty law, human rights, and the law of armed conflict. The course also examines the role of international courts and tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, in resolving disputes and enforcing legal norms. 

Throughout the course, students engage with legal texts, case studies, and critical debates to understand how jurisprudence influences the interpretation and application of international law. The course provides a foundation for careers in legal practice, diplomacy, academia, and international organizations, offering insight into both the abstract concepts of law and its practical implications in the global arena.
