International Law Lecture Notes

Hyperlinks have not been inserted since the notes were last revised (Sept 2005). Old syllabus below.

AIM

The aim of this page is to provide a set of notes that underpin some of the most important topics taught in undergraduate and some postgraduate courses in British universities. The notes are most certainly NOT comprehensive: the use of textbooks and other materials must accompany the notes if mastery of any topic is to be attained.

CHOICE

You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read and download the lecture notes. Click here ONLY if you need your own copy of Acrobat.
