International Human Rights Law LLM is designed for graduates wishing to develop the specialist skills needed for a career in this dynamic field of law. Through a detailed analysis of the theory, history, and development of human rights, and an exploration of the mechanisms of human rights protection you will acquire a comprehensive understanding of international human rights law and its interconnection with international criminal and comparative criminal law. The course places particular emphasis on the radical transformations in international human rights law since the beginning of the 21st century, with the establishment of the International Criminal Court, the on-going process of the United Nations reform, and the post 9/11 shift to a more €˜security-at-all-costs approach to criminal process values, especially with regards to the war against terror. You will explore key contemporary issues, such as: -human rights advocacy and global governance through NGOs and non-State actors -the European system of human rights protection -group rights and the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples -the challenges posed by international migration and the protection of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees -womens rights and the rights of the child, including protection for victims of human trafficking -sexual and gay rights -the right to development and €œthird-generation€ rights
