The programme provides a wide-ranging analysis of institutional and normative aspects of the gov-ernance of international crises.

In line with the aims of the masters’ programme, in particular concerning the acquisition of legal skills, students will acquire the capacity to identify the applicable legal regime and to apply it to concrete situations, while seeking possible solutions through sound legal reasoning and argumentation.
