Course Title:
Fundamental Rights in Europe
Course Number:
R_FunRE
Course Description:
Fundamental rights are one of the corner stones of democratic societies. As such, they are important for our daily lives and have a great impact on our national legal systems. Fundamental rights protection in Europe is provided through an interplay between three different legal orders: domestic (national) constitutional law, European Union (EU) law and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). Fundamental rights protection in more than one legal order raises important questions as regards coherence and consistency of these rights, and the effect of European rights and principles in national legal orders. The Fundamental rights in Europe course builds on two courses from the first year of your Bachelor in Law, namely: Beginselen Staatsrecht and Beginselen Europees recht. Since fundamental rights are significant in every legal field, this course is key for understanding and recognizing the importance of human rights in other fields of law, such as administrative law.
