LAW5HRL
Not currently offered
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Students in this unit study the core elements and fundamental issues in international and Australian human rights law. We analyse the philosophical basis underlying the international human rights framework, and then critique various methods for the enforcement or realisation of human rights at both an international and domestic level. Students will examine case studies in the areas of civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, and the field of emerging rights, and construct potential solutions to complex human rights problems. LAW5HRL is the pre-requisite for the internship subject LAW5HRA (Human Rights Advocacy).
