Last update: Mgr. Barbora Šicnerová (02.02.2024)
The goals of the subject are
- to get students acquainted with the latest development regarding applicability of public international law (specifically its regulation concerning international peace and security) within the sphere of cyberspace,
- to provide space for critical analysis over the sources and their application,
- to teach the students to present their qualified opinions based on study during the lectures and their own preparation.

Before each lecture, the students will be required to study materials provided via Moodle and during the lectures, to participate in discussions.
The lectures consist of two parts: a) initial presentation of the topic by the tutor, and b) subsequent critical discussion.

To reach course goals the students are required to prepare every week according to the list of sources and exercises, to prepare answers to provided questions and actively participate in the lectures. Home preparation is thus combined with thematically focused interactive lectures.

The subject combines attendance of students from both the Czech Master´s degree and Erasmus students programs. The work is in English language only.
