    Muy interesante y excelente expositores con frescura y gran conocimiento, solo les invitaría a que en su plataforma manejen la opción de traducción ya que en lo personal mi ingles es muy básico y tuve muchos contratiempos para lograr traducir los contenidos.

    I have really enjoyed this course. It was quiet informative, with a good combination of mini lectures, readings, quizzes, reflections and case study. Also included many readings references to go deeper in this topic if really interested. Highly recommended!

    A very well designed course - easy to understand and follow especially for non-lawyer like me. The arfula case study is challenging and an engaging application of laws/theories presented in the course. Thank you to all our lecturers.

    It's a privilege to have access to this content. I had a clear understanding of the mechanisms of IHL and how they differ from regular international law and hopefully can apply it further on my education.

    This is a good and comprehensible course, although the video explanations are really short. If you're the kind of person that likes reading and learning everything by yourself, this could come in handy.
