Prerequisites

Language requirements

To successfully follow the course, students are expected to have an advanced level of English, as both the lectures and the reading materials will be entirely in this language. In addition, a working knowledge of Spanish and/or Catalan is recommended to ensure effective collaboration in group assignments.

Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

This course contributes directly to the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably:

  • SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education
  • SDG 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development
  • SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all
  • SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries

Objectives and Contextualisation

The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the core issues of international criminal law, as well as the scope and content of the legal responses developed by the international community to protect individuals from abuses of power. Topics covered include human rights, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, aggression, victims, reparation, justice, and international tribunals. The course seeks to ensure that students acquire an in-depth and nuanced knowledge of these areas, while also developing academic skills through the analysis of codified international crimes, legal responses, and victim-oriented approaches, both in theory and in recent practice.

NOTE: The required readings to prepare each session, as well as the topics and/or questions to be addressed, will be indicated on the virtual campus (Moodle) following the class calendar. All materials will be provided in English.

Continuous assessment and attendance

The course is based on a continuous assessment system, which requires active and regular attendance at in-person sessions. Students who attend less than 80% of classes will not be able to pass the course. Absences will only be excused in cases of illness or other force majeure circumstances, as well as for academic reasons previously approved by the teaching staff. Mere physical presence without active participation will not be considered as meeting the attendance requirement. Classes begin and end punctually; therefore, except in justified cases, late entry after the session has started or leaving before it has ended will not be permitted.

Each week, students are expected to prepare for the session in advance by completing the assigned readings or engaging in the designated activities/research tasks posted on the virtual campus (Moodle). Every session will include a practical component that relies on this prior preparation.

During the first week, students will be assigned to permanent working groups to facilitate the implementation of practical activities throughout the course. However, all assessment will be conducted on an individual basis.

Each group will give short presentations (approximately five minutes each) using a poster (PowerPoint presentations are not permitted). These presentations are designed to bridge theoretical concepts with practical application. Following each presentation, there will be a Q&A and group discussion to deepen understanding of the key concepts addressed in the session.

In addition to group work, each student will carry out an individual research project on a topic related to the course content. With the guidance of the teaching staff, studentsmust formulate a research question, which will require prior approval from the instructor. The project will be assessed in two parts:

  • A short in-class written exam (50%) based on the findings of the research,
  • A research outline (50%) to be submitted one week before the exam,

Additionally, during the first third of the course, small group seminars will be held in the Department’s office to discuss the compulsory reading book in a more interactive setting.

Citation and authorship guidelines

All written assignments must include proper referencing of all sources used (quotations, bibliography, and references). Failure to provide this information will negatively impact the final grade of the respective task.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

1. Research Project (30% of the final grade)

Based on the analysis of an official document (e.g. judgment, report, etc.), students are expected to investigate a specific issue related to the course themes. Under no circumstances will a mere summary of the selected official document be accepted as a valid submission. The document is to serve solely as a reference or starting point for identifying the issue under examination. Prior approval from the teaching staff is mandatory before beginning the research.

Assessment of the research project will consist of two components:

  • A written report to be submitted via the virtual campus (50%)
  • An individual oral/written examination based on the research conducted (50%)

The written report must be uploaded at least one week prior to the examination. The report, with a maximum length of two pages (excluding bibliography), must include at minimum:

  • The initial research question or hypothesis
  • An outline of the research process, including consulted sources at each step
  • The conclusions of the research
  • A reflective and critical commentary linking the findings to course content

The report must also include the complete list of references used (excluded from the page count). Both the written report and the final examination may be submitted in Catalan, Spanish, or English.

Note: To be considered for evaluation, the research project must receive a minimum score of 3.6 out of 10.

2. Course Content Activities (40% of the final grade). As this is a continuous assessment course with no final exam, students are required to prepare each session in advance based on the materials and instructions posted on the virtual campus. Evaluation will be based on:

  • Verification tests of session preparation
  • In-class discussions and collaborative activities

The final score for this component will be calculated using the average of the top 80% of these activities and tests completed throughout the course.

3. Poster Presentation (15% of thefinalgrade). This consists of:

  • The design and delivery of a short oral presentation based on a real-life situation or case study, using a poster (10%)
  • Active participation in other students’ presentations and debates (5%)

Each student or group will select (or be assigned) a topic at the beginning of the course. The poster must progressively integrate course concepts and insights from other presentations. Poster and presentation are assessed separately from the Q&A and debate sessions.

4. Literary Seminar (10% of the final grade). Students must participate in a thematic seminar based on one of the following books, submitting a summary sheet beforehand:

a) East-West Street. On the Origins of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity, Philippe Sands, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 2016 (387 pages).
— Historical essay on the legal development of international crimes to prosecute Nazism.

b) Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Collins, 2007 (448 pages).
— Historical novel on the Biafran War (1967–1970), set in post-colonial Africa.

c) Monsieur Linh and His Child, Philippe Claudel, Salamandra, 2013 (126 pages) [Original: La petite fille de Monsieur Linh, 2005] and Small Country, Gaël Faye, Salamandra, 2018 (224 pages) [Original: Petit pays, 2016].
— A fable on forced exile and loneliness due to armed conflict, paired with a coming-of-age narrative on the Rwandan genocide from the viewpoint of a child.

5. Participation (5% of the final grade).  Active and consistent participation during class sessions is compulsory and accounts for 5% of the final grade. Note: Mere attendance or passive presence does not count as participation.

Non-Evaluable students.  A student will be considered evaluable if they have completed a set of activities whose weight constitutes at least two-thirds of the total grade for the course. If the value of the completed activities does not meet this threshold, the course instructor may consider the student as non-evaluable.

SINGLE ASSESMENT.  There is the possibility of a single assessment, which will take place on the date scheduled by the Faculty for the final exam. This assessment will consist of:

a) A written exam covering the theoretical concepts studied in class (50%)

b) The resolution of a practical case, provided at the beginning of the course, with questions related to the course content to be asked on the day of the exam (40%)

c) The preparation of a poster, which must be presented and defended orally. The poster should result from the analysis of a current news event or issue, applying some of the concepts discussed in the course (10%)

RE-ASSESMENT (PASS/fALL) For students who have not obtained a minimum grade of 5 from the continuous assessment or single assessment during the course, but have scored over 4, there is the possibility of a re-assessment exam, which will take place on the date assigned by the Faculty.  The structure of the exam will consist of 10 short questions related to the course content and a case study. The maximum final grade that can be achieved through re-assessment will be 6.5.

NOTICE: Academic Integrity and Use of AI Tools

  1. Any submission not produced by the student when individual authorship is required will be graded with a zero for the corresponding assignment.
  2. The use of Artificial Intelligence tools as a substitute for the student’s own work will result in a final grade of zero for the course, with no right to resit or re-evaluation.
