Resumen

TLDRThis course is focused on public international law, distinct from private international law, which deals with conflicts between individual or corporate entities across borders. Public international law governs the legal relations between states and international bodies. Historically called 'Yus ganum,' akin to natural law derived from reason, international law addresses issues like treaties and relations between nations, not private transactions. The course won't cover private international law, which resolves legal conflicts involving different jurisdictions in private matters.

Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:04:21

    This course focuses on public international law, which differs from private international law. Private international law resolves the legal conflicts between individuals or corporations when these relationships extend beyond one state, often referred to as 'conflict of laws.' This involves determining applicable laws and jurisdictions through domestic or internationally common rules, often seen in treaties. In contrast, public international law pertains to laws governing international relations between public entities, often termed as 'the law of nations.' Compared to the ancient Roman concept of Yus Ganum—law common to Rome and external tribes—modern international law has developed a structured approach, distinguishing itself from natural law and highlighting treaties like the ancient Peace Treaty of Kadesh. The course will delve deeper into modern international law foundations in subsequent lectures.

    this course is about international law
  • 00:00:11
    but as you've probably heard in the
  • 00:00:13
    teaser one can be even more precise by
  • 00:00:16
    saying that it is about public
  • 00:00:19
    international law what does that mean
  • 00:00:22
    using the adjective public to describe
  • 00:00:25
    international law is in contrast to
  • 00:00:28
    private international law
  • 00:00:31
    private international law is the law
  • 00:00:33
    applicable to the relations between
  • 00:00:35
    individuals and corporations when those
  • 00:00:38
    relations are international that is when
  • 00:00:41
    those relations are not entirely located
  • 00:00:44
    in one
  • 00:00:45
    state private international law is at
  • 00:00:48
    issue for instance when a Frenchman
  • 00:00:51
    marries an Argentinian girl in Moscow
  • 00:00:54
    they settle and buy a flat in South
  • 00:00:56
    Korea have kids in Australia and they
  • 00:00:59
    find finally divorce in South Africa
  • 00:01:02
    many questions will arise which judge
  • 00:01:05
    may actually adjudicate on the divorce
  • 00:01:08
    and which law applies to it private
  • 00:01:12
    international law is also at stake for
  • 00:01:14
    instance if a chinese company sells
  • 00:01:16
    Goods to a Californian company and that
  • 00:01:19
    they are those goods are shipped on
  • 00:01:20
    board a Danish cargo which is insured in
  • 00:01:23
    Switzerland and which sinks off the
  • 00:01:26
    coast of India because of of a collision
  • 00:01:28
    with an oil tanker flagging the flag of
  • 00:01:31
    of Panama well the same questions arise
  • 00:01:34
    which court may hear the case and which
  • 00:01:36
    law
  • 00:01:37
    applies private international law is
  • 00:01:40
    sometimes called conflict of laws
  • 00:01:43
    because it is about resolving the
  • 00:01:45
    conflict between the various domestic
  • 00:01:48
    laws and jurisdictions that could
  • 00:01:50
    potentially apply in a case and choosing
  • 00:01:54
    the right one that choice is usually to
  • 00:01:57
    be made by application of domestic rules
  • 00:01:59
    or by rules that are common to States
  • 00:02:02
    and the rules that are contained in
  • 00:02:04
    treaties that those states have
  • 00:02:06
    contracted private international law is
  • 00:02:09
    a very important field of law today but
  • 00:02:12
    this course will not address those
  • 00:02:14
    transnational private law issues rather
  • 00:02:17
    the course will address the law
  • 00:02:19
    applicable between public entities that
  • 00:02:22
    are engaged in international relations
  • 00:02:25
    it will be about the law of what the
  • 00:02:27
    newspapers called the International
  • 00:02:30
    Community public international law or to
  • 00:02:33

  • 00:02:42
    applicable between the citizens of Rome
  • 00:02:45
    while the law applicable between the

    Roman Republic or the Roman Empire and
  • 00:02:50
    the tribes and kingdoms of the rest of
  • 00:02:52
    the world that law was called Yus ganum
  • 00:02:56
    Yus ganum was common to both the Romans
  • 00:02:59
    and and the rest of the world it was set
  • 00:03:02
    to be common to both because it was said
  • 00:03:05
    to derive from reason and was close to
  • 00:03:08
    natural law Yus ganum was human whereas
  • 00:03:12
