International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law Advocacy Clinic Ius/13 (9 cfu)

The aim of this course is to enable students to develop their knowledge of available avenues for civil society participation at the international, European, and national level, and teach them how to access these avenues to advocate for States' and other actors' compliance with international human rights and humanitarian law. In this perspective, the term 'advocacy' is to be interpreted in the broad sense of promoting respect for and protection of international human rights and humanitarian law, either in relation to specific (individual) cases or, more generally, in relation to broader situations/topics.

At the end of this course:
- students will have developed their knowledge of available avenues for civil society participation at the international, European, and national level.
- students will have learnt how to access these avenues to advocate for States' and other actors' compliance with international human rights and humanitarian law.
