International law and human rights
Course Number:

Course Description:
This course focus on two broad themes. The first part concerns international law and how relations between states are regulated in international agreements and conventions. This also include the role of international organisations, especially the United Nations. Questions that are addressed concern differences between international and national law, how international law is implemented, to what extent do states comply and what is the role of institutions in achieving legal compliance. The course further discusses the nature and sources of international law. The second part further deals with human rights and its legal dimension, and with economic, social, and cultural rights in international law. Here, and throughout the course, European law plays a prominent role (in a comparative perspective) not least due to the important role of the European convention on human rights in international law and the European Union due to its developed system of multilevel governance.
