BAIS 320 - Human Rights

Unit(s): 4

In Human Rights we consider the international law and institutions which make up the international human rights regime. We examine the development of international human rights from the end of World War II to the present day, and explore issues such as how to define international human rights, who decides when rights have been violated, and how best to address such violations. While focusing on international human rights law, in this course we also consider how international conceptions of human rights are internalized at the domestic level to encourage greater protections through law, policy, and advocacy.
