The Global Governance of International Security
(objectives)
The course analyses the evolution of the international rules in the field of use of force, along with the main features of the functioning of the UN system of collective security. The global governance of collective security will be studied also by taking into consideration the growing role of new, relevant international actors, such as regional organisations and non-state actors. From this broader perspective, special attention will be devoted to the gradual emergence of the international norms on human rights, so as to assess whether and how this framework has produced – and is still producing today – changes with regard to the rules governing the use of force and the management of the international security.

MODULE I
(objectives)
The first part of the course aims to illustrate and analyze both international rules and actors of the global governance of collective security. The main goal is to provide students with an overview of the most important legal instruments, the practice of States and international organizations and the relevant case-law of international courts and tribunals on the use of force in international relations. At the end of this part of the course, students should be able to grasp multilevel governance challenges in the complex field of global security.

BUFALINI Alessandro
( syllabus)
The course aims at shedding some light on the different roles played by international political and judicial institutions in governing global peace and security. In the first part of Module I, we will carefully examine – also in an historical perspective – the evolution of the United Nations collective security system and its interaction with other international organizations (such as NATO and regional organizations). In the second part of Module I, we will focus instead on the role that judicial organs (especially, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights) can play in order to contribute to both maintain peace and security and review political decisions in this field

MODULE II
(objectives)
The second module explores the impact on individuals of security measures adopted at international level. The aim is to highlight the legal problems and dilemmas arising when an international measure or decision is addressed not (only) to States but (also) to individuals. When this individual impact occurs, the traditional dichotomy between international and domestic law becomes obsolete, along with the corresponding guarantees and accountability tools. The resulting problems of interactions between different sources of law (international, EU and national) will be analyzed through the lenses of Global administrative law.
