• LAA228 Human Rights & Social Justice

  Are you interested in human rights and how human rights relate to the problems of poverty and inequality? Do you want to know more about the relevance of human rights for law and public policy in areas such as housing, health or food security? This module will focus on international and European human rights law protections for economic and social rights. It will examine how social and economic rights, such as the right to an adequate standard of living, education or social security, are given effect and enforced through the system of international human rights law and treaty monitoring, as well as in the European system of human rights. The emphasis in this module is on enhancing and strengthening students' understanding of human rights, and to help students appreciate how human rights can make a difference.

• LAAM00 International Human Rights Law

  This module examines the current international system for protecting human rights and the challenges it faces. It analyses the key international instruments for the protection of human rights, the mechanisms for monitoring and improving State compliance with these instruments and the UN reform agenda in this particular area. Several key areas of substantive law are examined from a thematic perspective, namely, the prohibition on torture, the right to life, the right to respect for identity, the right to food and the right to self-determination. Within these areas, issues that are relevant to the protection of all human rights are examined such as how one can reconcile conflicts between the rights of different individuals or groups as well as the conflicts between these rights and the wider interests of society, for example, in the development sphere or in dealing with terrorist threats. Throughout the course, the political, economic and other non-legal considerations that influence the application and development of international human rights law are examined.
