ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS

Course Description:

This is a fourth year and graduate degree combined course on International Human
Rights. It is designed as a survey/seminar course whereby students actively participate in
classroom debates. The course is structured as a two-part learning enterprise. During the
Fall term, students will primarily be introduced to classical and contemporary debates on
the history, ethics, cultural dimensions, legitimacy, forms of application and limits of
international human rights. During the Winter term, students will then be dealing with the
framework within which international human rights are practiced through the
examination of various case studies. Throughout the course, the discussion of pertinent
issues is intertwined with historical and contemporary examples. This is to ensure that
the students become suitably comfortable with the working mechanisms of the
contemporary human rights regime as well as supporters and critics of the modern human
rights discourse in international politics. Upon completion of this course, students are
expected to have an in-depth and critical understanding of how the international human
rights discourse came into being, contemporary forms of its practice, as well as its points
of weakness and the potential for its sustenance and rejuvenation. This is not a law course
on human rights. Neither is it a debate on the global political economy conditioning the
human rights discourse. Students should be aware that this course has a marked emphasis
on the political and ethical dimensions of both the theory and practice of international
human rights and links human rights to human suffering.

*Pre-requisites/Co-Requisites: familiarity with human rights, migration and refugee

issues, political philosophy and comparative politics; Degree Credit Exclusions (DCE):
