Prerequisites
Although no background in the study of law is required, students with little familiarity with legal concepts and legal language might have more difficulty mastering certain notions. The course is structured so that a diligent student, regardless of her background, will be able to conclude the course with a satisfactory grade.About this course
Human rights develop through the constant dialogue
between international human rights bodies and domestic courts, in a
search that crosses geographical, cultural and legal boundaries. The
result is a unique human rights grammar, which this course shall discuss
and question, examining the sources of human rights, the rights of
individuals and the duties of States, and the mechanisms of protection.
We shall rely extensively on comparative material from different
jurisdictions, to study a wide range of topics including, for instance,
religious freedom in multicultural societies, human rights in employment
relationships, economic and social rights in development, or human
rights in the context of the fight against terrorism.

- A solid understanding of the key controversies surrounding the development of international human rights law
- How to follow the developments of human rights law using the conceptual tools you've acquired
