With military, trade, and other conflicts across the globe, the laws governing interactions among and between nations can determine the fate of individuals, peoples, and nations. From agreements regulating the exchange of goods and services, to treaties governing the conduct of war, to international bodies like the United Nations and World Trade Organization, Harvard Law students delve deeply into the ways cross-border relationships are governed and how they affect the world.
