UpRights’ Asa Solway Teaches Course On Self-Determination Of Peoples At UC Berkeley School Of Law
10-11-2023
UpRights’ Co-Director Asa Solway had the opportunity to teach a course on self-determination in international law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
“Self-Determination of Peoples in International Law” aims to familiarise students with the legal foundations of self-determination in international law, considering its relevance in the United Nations Charter, the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, decolonization and modern dynamics of both national and international self-determination movements.
Throughout the course, students engaged in discussions and debates on a range of pertinent issues, including decolonization, secession minority rights, state sovereignty, and claims to natural resources.
The course provides a platform for students to explore contemporary approaches to the concept of the right to self-determination in light of modern advocacy movements, as well as ongoing debates surrounding the applicability, scope, and original intent of this right as envisioned in the drafting of the United Nations Charter.
Let’s meet.
UpRights is based in The Hague, Netherlands
