This course aims to understand collective security system established by the Charter of the United Nations. First, the principle of non-use of force and some exceptions comprise topics for the lecture. The principle, constituting a premise for the collective security system, is examined, because an issues of whether it sets out a comprehensive ban on resorting to force remains controversial. Second, this course analyses some innovative measures designed to activate the UN, such as PKO during the Cold War era. Third, the changing system of UN collective security after 1990 is addressed. Finally, a moot court competition will be held by students. Students will play a role of agent for the plaintiff or the defendant, or of a judge. They can get some skills to invoke, interprete and apply some rules of international law for defending the claim of one party to a dispute or writing a decision of the court.
