| 三、教學目標 Objectives | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Course Objectives To familiarize students with the fast growing Law of International Institutions which, although weak and nonbinding in many areas, have already impacted upon international community since early 20th century, and even more so since 1945. This course covers its historical developments since late 18th century incluidng, but not limited to, LON, UN, specialized agencies affiliated with the UN, and regional organizations. Emphasis will always be on both theory and reality, since law does not exist in a vacuum. Finally, the participation of Taiwan in world organizations will also be discussd due to its very unique international standing and various subtle factors. International affairs from 2017-2021 have gone through interesting and drastic developments. Global pandemic of COVID-19 since late 2019 has victimized more humans than the 1918 flu, and devastated the whole world. New US President, US Senate, and new US Congress certainly have to face the most challenging situations for at least two more years (2021–2022). Global leaders and observers are watching closely. The good news is that various vaccines are being administered throughout most countries of the world by late-2021, and yet vaccines disparity in the world is still to be addressed. |
