Kommentar/Beschreibung

The lecture will be provided by guest lecturer Huang Yun from Southwest University of Political Science and Law (Chongqing, China). A preliminary course syllabus can be found in the "Dateien" folder.

This course examines the engagement of East Asian states—China, Japan, and South Korea—with the international legal order through a series of thematic inquiries and case studies drawn from contemporary practice. Spanning treaty interpretation, international investment law, regional economic integration (RCEP), extraterritorial jurisdiction and sanctions, national security exceptions, human rights, environmental protection, and historical reparations, the course investigates how East Asian legal actors navigate, adapt to, and occasionally contest international legal norms. Adopting a comparative and case-based methodology, students will closely read treaty texts, arbitral awards, court judgments, diplomatic correspondence, and legislative materials. The goal is not only to understand the operational logic of international law in a regional context, but also to reflect critically on the relationship between universal claims and local practices. The course is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students with interests in international law, comparative law, and East Asian regional studies.
