| CONTENTS |
| The course deals with the UN, and the direction of the future development of the UN. Currently, the UN is an essential actor on the international political stage, but is also the focus of an intense debate regarding the development of the international legal system. At the same time, there are strong advocates for reform of the global organisation, its structure and mandates. |

The course is examined through a written individual examination and a smaller essay that is presented at a seminar. Detailed information can be found in the study guide.
