What counts, I found, is not what you cover, but what you uncover. Covering subjects in a class can be a boring exercise, and students feel it.

People who have been made stateless by military occupation are entitled to repatriation, and then the question is to which state, or to what polity or area? Those who have had their goods taken away are entitled to compensation of some kind. These are basic international laws.
