The Role of Law and Organisations in International Affairs examines how international law and global institutions shape relations among states and promote cooperation, peace, and stability in the global system. It explores the functions of legal frameworks, treaties, and conventions in regulating issues such as human rights, trade, security, and environmental protection, as well as the roles of international organizations like the United Nations, World Trade Organization, and International Court of Justice in resolving conflicts, facilitating diplomacy, and enforcing norms. The topic emphasizes how law and organizations work together to manage global challenges and maintain order in an interconnected world. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the principles of international law, identify the roles of key international organizations, analyze how legal systems influence global affairs, and develop critical skills for evaluating the effectiveness of international institutions in promoting peace, cooperation, and justice.
