International law offers countries multiple ways to settle their disputes in a peaceful manner that avoid military confrontations. States may resort to bilateral negotiations, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and international courts to solve their disagreements, and these disagreements deal with numerous issues such as territorial sovereignty (land, islands, etc), maritime zones, diplomatic disagreements, and so on. Why do states choose particular methods? What are strengths and shortcoming of each method? Why would any country choose an international court, and forego negotiations? Professor Powell will give examples of important recent disputes that got resolved via each method of settlement.
