（開催記録）International Law Education -1.0: How to Reconstruct?—In Conversation with Professor Erika de Wet
国際法教育CoLabプロジェクトの一環で、Erika de Wet教授をお迎えし、ワークショップを開催しました。
Workshop summary
The workshop focused on the challenges faced by international law educators as they teach international law to an audience of students who have become increasingly disenchanted with international law. The discussion focused on the following three points: how to understand international law, constitutional features in international law, and national biases that arise in international law teaching materials. Professor Erika de Wet of the University of Graz, Austria, shared with the participants her extensive experience in international law education.
The workshop was eye-opening to say the least, as all participants reflected on their teaching and how they had tackled the above issues.
Though the currents news and international scene is often inundated with what looks to be examples of international law’s “un-law like” status, Professor de Wet showed us how we can remind students that our very lives are supported by well-functioning international law. Particularly memorable was her example of the leasing of pandas, which is itself an international treaty that is working quite well (to the enjoyment of millions who love going to see these adorable animals).
