The Evolution of International Criminal Law: History and Fundamental Doctrine is a course developed by the PFW project for scientific and humanities outreach. It is part of Fundamentals collection.

Fundamentals is a collection of virtual courses on Criminal Law at an introductory level (101) for continental and anglo legal systems so that they are a perfect option for university students of careers such as political science, law, and military sciences, who have not yet addressed these subjects, as well as for those more advanced students who want to review content or find new elements that perhaps were not included in their syllabus.

Fundamentals is a collection of content that allows it to cover a much broader audience. People of any profession or occupation can enjoy them without prior requirements. It is enough with appropriate reading comprehension and a desire to learn something new.

This course will teach the history and fundamental doctrine of International Criminal Law.

By fundamental doctrine, we refer to the essential terminology and crucial ideas to beginning the study of International Criminal Law.

Here we will study the important definitions, the objections to the existence of International Criminal Law, and its relationship with other areas of law, such as International Humanitarian Law and International Refugee Law. We will finish by studying the Just War Theory and then move on to the second section of the course, where we will study the evolution of International Criminal Law, beginning with the period before the First World War, the era after the Great War, the Interwar period, the World War II, the period after the World War II, the Cold War and the Post-cold War era.

Once this unit is finished, we will study the last essential points of the fundamental doctrine, the International Criminal Court, and the crimes covered by the Rome Statute: war crimes, the crime of aggression, genocide, and the crime against humanity.

In this way, and with just two hours of lectures, you will be able to form a solid base to later delve into more details and depth on International Criminal Law on your own.

Upon completing the course, you can request a digital certificate of participation from PFW; additionally, Udemy will automatically extend your certificate of completion.
