Extremely Detailed PIL Notes (COLOUR-CODED)

Description

These extremely detailed notes cover the full LAWS1023 PIL course. They include citation of all authority, statutory provisions, treaty articles, pinpoint case references, and page references of academic scholarship. The notes follow a "scaffold" structure, and cover all the elements of eg, defining a treaty, conditions of invoking the ICC's jurisdiction etc. I've also used tables and textboxes (really helpful for visual learners!). I also colour-coded the notes to make it easier to memorise and locate legal principles , cases are in aqua, treaty provisions are in blue, customary rules and contentious issues are in orange, definitions are in pink, problematic/unsettled areas of law are in red. These notes were also incredibly helpful to me in later courses, such as the War Law elective. All topics covered: - Nature and sources of public international law - Law of treaties - Public international law and municipal law - Personality, statehood, self-determination - Title to territory - State jurisdiction - Immunity from jurisdiction - State responsibility - Diplomatic protection - Use of force - Implementation, enforcement, accountability
