International Human Rights. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course offers a comprehensive overview of the international human rights law, from its historical origins to modern institutions and enforcement mechanisms.

The knowledge acquired in this course is not intended to remain purely theoretical, but instead, students will be encouraged to apply legal principles to concrete cases of human rights violations in order to identify human rights-compliant solutions in given circumstances.Offered by Law.
