It will start with an introduction to the nature and sources of international human rights law and its place in the international legal system. Afterwards, the course will examine the different institutional mechanisms for the protection of human rights, both at the universal and regional levels, before delving into an analysis of substantive rights. At the end of the course, participants will be in a position to further delve into human rights literature and case law in order to enhance their grasp of the law, as well as understand the major debates and controversies in the field of human rights protection.
