Course summary
Many believe international human rights law is one of our greatest moral achievements. However, huge gaps remain between the theory and the practice of human rights implementation. On this LLM, you’ll gain the intellectual and practical skills to understand human rights issues in many different contexts. You’ll study:
- the interconnections between international human rights law and regional and national systems of human rights protection
- legal texts such as treaties, declarations and case law
- critiques of rights as well as the legal and practical context of contemporary issues and challenges.
