COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

International Human Rights (Lund, Sweden Course)
Prof. John Cerone
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.

This course will trace the legal and political development of international human rights law. It will begin by exploring the philosophical bases of this body of law in the context of the positivist legal tradition of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It will examine the legal nature and substantive standards of modern human rights law, and will apply those standards in the context of case studies encompassing issues of hate speech, extraterritorial application of human rights law, and discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation. It will also survey the extensive array of human rights mechanisms created under the auspices of the UN and regional intergovernmental organizations.
