수업내용/목표

This class addresses the developments of international law in Korea from human rights concerns to law of the sea issues; from maritime delimitation and access to ocean resources to other non-security matters. It attempts to demonstrate to students the increasingly important role of international law in Northeast Asia. Korea, in particular, can no longer ignore the age-old global question: should states obey international law, and if so, why? For the Republic of Korea, the answer to this question is of utmost importance given its precarious position between two world powers, China and Japan, and its volatile neighbor to the north, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The purpose of this class is to help students of international law, particularly those in Korea, to understand and appreciate the significance of international law to the international relations of Korea.
