1. Gleider Hernández, International Law (OUP, 2022)
2. Anders Henriksen, International Law (Oxford University Press, 4th ed., 2023)
These textbooks are recommended by well-regarded European universities, such as Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam, 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.
