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)
This textbook is specified by well-regarded European universities, such as Leiden University, known for their strong international law programs.
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.
