International organizations play an increasingly important role in the international community and are of many types – both in terms of their size and objectives. Within this diverse group of organizations, there are a number of similar day-to-day problems with which each of them is confronted. In this course, some key issues of the law of international organizations will be highlighted with the help of international judicial decisions. This is a unique course that is not taught in most other programmes. The course is based on extensive research in the field. It does not analyze individual organizations, but rather follows a thematic approach. Meetings are therefore devoted to issues such as membership, legal personality, powers and structure of international organizations, decision-making rules and privileges and immunities.
