International human rights law

This course seeks to provide students with a sound knowledge of internationally recognised human rights, with a particular emphasis on the international mechanisms monitoring and ensuring their protection. The aim is to give future graduates the necessary conceptual and, as far as possible, practical tools to contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights in their future careers (e.g. in NGOs or think tanks involved in human rights reporting and/or advocacy).

At the end of this course, students will have a deep and broad knowledge of international human rights law. They will be able to consider past and current events in the light of this legal framework and, most importantly, put their knowledge into practice in their future careers.
