International law is an increasingly important field of study and practice. Never before has international law taken such a central position in public debates. The regulation of financial markets, environmental protection, the management of migrations, or the prosecution of war criminals are all areas in which international law plays a central role.
International law does not only affect the behavior of states and intergovernmental institutions; neither is it a discipline of diplomats, academics, and philosophers. International law today dominates the activity of transnational corporations, NGOs, and individuals, from footballers to victims of human rights violations. As a result, governments, international institutions, NGOs, businesses, and law firms are increasingly looking for individuals capable of dealing with complex issues of transnational law.
