The Russia-Ukraine war has made some people feel that international law and the UN are useless, but even in such a situation, I still believe that they can contribute to the pacific settlement of disputes and a peaceful international order. Although students need not agree, they are expected to learn what international law and organizations can and cannot do, and how to utilize them to improve the international society. I welcome the students who would consider these questions whilst in school and contribute to realizing a better world after graduation.<\/p>\n<h3>Course List<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100003582_en.html#item_syllabus_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course List<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Web Page \/ Researcher DB<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/researchmap.jp\/7000005066\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">researchmap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/w-rdb.waseda.jp\/html\/100003582_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Waseda University Researchers Database<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Faculty Spotlights<\/h3>\n<h5>\u203bPlease click the thumbnail below to view the detailed version (PDF) or the interview video.<\/h5>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\"><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 64.0479%; height: 246px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 10px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 36.76%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u25c6Digital Book<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.8461%; height: 10px;\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u25c6Interview Video<\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 236px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 36.76%; height: 236px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/facultyspotlights_vol4_e_in.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/02\/facultyspotlights_vol4_j_in_Page1-610x864.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 23.8461%; height: 236px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NXYsZ1hIbiE\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241-610x343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241-940x529.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/03\/219b353311b4793c2f1a33689ac94241.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"\/fire\/gsaps\/en\/about\/faculty\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u203b1<br \/>Professor<br \/>International Law\/Law of the Sea<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10508"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10508\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17505,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10508\/revisions\/17505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fire\/gsaps\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
