Cíle předmětu
Global problems - such as international security/armed conflict, gross violations of human rights, international environmental protection, pandemics - require global solutions. The decisions and actions of international organizations therefore play an increasingly important role in today's world. The growing importance of international organizations requires knowledge of their law and practice. Hundreds of international organizations directly or indirectly affect our daily lives and play an important role in shaping international policies. The theory and practice of international organizations is a dynamic and important dimension of the global politics. International organizations have evolved over time into key actors in international relations and important subjects of international law with different competences in most areas of human activity. The aim of the “International Institutional Law” course is to provide students from different disciplines with the latest developments in this field and to introduce them to the law of (universal or regional) international organizations (mainly, the United Nations, international criminal tribunals, the European Court of Human Rights, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, NATO or the African Union) through up-to-date case studies and core materials. Although these organizations have vastly different objectives, mandates, and areas of activity, they also share a wide range of institutional characteristics. Through cross-cutting institutional issues, the course covers key topics that shape much of the current discourse on international organizations: the definition and origins of international organizations, membership, powers, legal effects of their acts, organs/institutional structure, immunities, and international legal responsibility. 􏰜􏰼􏰙􏰐􏰜􏰖􏰕􏰱 􏰜􏰘􏰟􏰓􏰕􏰛􏰠􏰓􏰙􏰑􏰎 􏱄􏰣􏱀􏰚􏰜􏰣􏰢 􏰼􏰓􏰕􏰤􏰓􏰎 􏰀􏰑􏰠􏰛􏰕􏰢􏰘􏰜􏰖􏰕􏰱 􏰩􏱀􏰕􏰜􏰣􏱂 􏰝􏰜􏰕􏰖􏰎 􏰂􏰹􏰏􏰆 􏰾􏰛 􏰹􏰝􏰘􏰛􏰙􏰤􏰢 􏰥􏰕􏰛􏰑􏰵 􏰪􏰘􏰜􏰡􏰚􏰰􏰑􏰖􏰕􏰛􏰙􏰚􏰣􏰱􏰩 􏰓􏰤􏰚􏰥􏰢􏰞􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰪􏰰􏰱􏰪􏰓􏰖􏰜􏰣􏱂􏰙􏰐 􏰡􏰚􏰥􏰖􏰛􏰱 􏰓 􏰡􏰚􏱀􏰻􏰑􏰺􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰩􏰓􏰚􏰑􏰘􏰛􏰢􏰞􏱁􏰨 􏰗􏰰􏰑􏰡􏰚􏰜􏰎 􏰻􏰑 􏰩􏰓􏰺􏰱 􏰚􏰽􏰚􏰜 􏰜􏰘􏰟􏰓􏰕􏰛􏰠􏰓􏰙􏰑 􏰠􏰕􏰓􏰾􏰕􏱀 􏰜􏰖􏰞􏰛􏰿􏰕􏰫 􏰙􏰱􏰞􏰑􏰎 􏰪􏰘􏰓􏰣􏰜􏰩􏰜􏰙􏰛 􏰛 􏰜􏰼􏰞􏰓􏰡􏰚 􏰾􏰛􏰕􏰕􏰜􏰡􏰚􏰛􏰎 􏰡􏰖􏰱􏰞􏰑􏰺􏰱 􏰚􏰓􏰤􏰫 􏰿􏰛􏰘􏰜􏰤􏰜􏰥 􏰿􏰤􏰢 􏰛􏰕􏰡􏰚􏰛􏰚􏰥􏰙􏰛􏰜􏰕􏰢􏰞􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰙􏰐􏰓􏰘􏰓􏰤􏰚􏰑􏰘􏰛􏰡􏰚􏰛􏰤􏰨 􏰧􏰥􏰘􏰠 􏰪􏰘􏰜􏰡􏰚􏰰􏰑􏰖􏰕􏰛􏰙􏰚􏰣􏰱􏰩 􏰪􏰘􏱁􏰰􏰑􏰠􏰜􏰣􏱂􏰙􏰐 􏰛􏰕􏰡􏰚􏰛􏰚􏰥􏰙􏰛􏰜􏰕􏰢􏰞􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰜􏰚􏰢􏰠􏰤􏰑􏰤 􏰪􏰜􏰤􏰘􏱂􏰣􏰢 􏰤􏰞􏰱􏰾􏰜􏰣􏰢 􏰚􏰫􏰩􏰓􏰚􏰓􏰎 􏰤􏰚􏰑􏰘􏰢 􏰝􏰜􏰘􏰩􏰥􏰺􏰱 􏰣􏱀􏰚􏰿􏰛􏰕􏰥 􏰡􏰜􏰥􏰾􏰓􏰡􏰕􏰫􏰐􏰜 􏰖􏰛􏰡􏰤􏰥􏰘􏰠􏰥 􏰜 􏰩􏰑􏰠􏰛􏰕􏰢􏰘􏰜􏰖􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰜􏰘􏰟􏰓􏰕􏰛􏰠􏰓􏰙􏰱􏰙􏰐􏰬 􏰖􏰑􏰝􏰛􏰕􏰛􏰙􏰑 􏰓 􏰣􏰠􏰕􏰛􏰤 􏰩􏰑􏰠􏰛􏰕􏰢􏰘􏰜􏰖􏰕􏰱􏰙􏰐 􏰜􏰘􏰟􏰓􏰕􏰛􏰠􏰓􏰙􏰱􏰎 􏰾􏰞􏰑􏰕􏰡􏰚􏰣􏰱􏰎 􏰪􏰘􏰓􏰣􏰜􏰩􏰜􏰙􏰛􏰎 􏰪􏰘􏰢􏰣􏰕􏰱 􏱆􏰾􏰛􏰕􏰤􏰽 􏰺􏰑􏰺􏰛􏰙􏰐 􏰓􏰤􏰚􏱁􏰎 􏰜􏰘􏰟􏰢􏰕􏰽􏰄􏰛􏰕􏰡􏰚
Výstupy z učení
The course aims to provide students from different disciplines with an understanding of the importance of international organizations in contemporary international law and politics. This course will enable students to: (1) become familiar with existing theories, concepts and functions of international organizations; (2) be able to assess the legal dimensions of international organizations; (3) think critically and theoretically about the dynamic roles of international institutions whose activities have practical implications for all states and their citizens.The aim of the course is, broadly speaking, to provide a deeper understanding of what "law" means in modern society and how international law works (or does not work) in a global world, and to enable students to participate in this ongoing dialogue.􏱄􏰣􏱀􏰚􏰜􏰣􏰢 Transferable skills • Logical thinking • Analysis of complex ideas, arguments and theories • Problem-solving • Intellectual independence • Communication skills

Výukové metody
The format of the course will be primarily lectures and structured discussions, which allow for immediate feedback. The course is designed to be interactive, combining teaching with in-class analysis of interesting and pivotal cases and materials. The choice of topics/global issues and the use of case studies will be designed to engage students across disciplines, while providing practical benefits and opportunities for them to use in practice. An important method of developing students' ability to critically understand the role and impact of international organizations is the active use of case studies, including cases illustrating institutional complexity. If the situation permits, the lecturer would like to invite various international experts (UN, NATO, EU, Council of Europe) to discuss with the students the function and role of the respective organization and the most interesting issues arising from its functioning. The lecturer will use not only theoretical but also her practical work experience (ICTY/Hague), training/teaching at the operational level (NATO/Oberammergau and KFOR/Kosovo) or consulting activities (UNODC, Council of Europe, OSCE).
Metody hodnocení
Assessment method: emphasis on ongoing in-class activity, engagement in discussions, and submission of a "position paper" (maximum length 3 pages) on a selected topic at the end of the course. Possibility of individual consultations with the lecturer (in person or via MS Teams).
