Books,etc.
There are no required textbooks, but for my course preparation, I use the following book:
Cecily Roseetal, An Introduction to Public International Law (Cambridge University Press 2022)

All course materials will be carefully translated into Japanese and presented in detailed slides, so feel free to participate with confidence. For preparation, you're welcome to read any Japanese textbooks of your choice, as there are no specific requirements.
