LAWS 2366

The purpose of this intensive is to introduce students to the skills and techniques used in international human rights law (IHRL) advocacy. IHRL is sometimes dismissed as aspirational and unenforceable, yet it can and does play a crucial role in concretely advancing human rights protection. This course will provide students the opportunity to learn what it is like to be an IHRL advocate, and how IHRL advocacy is changing in response to critiques and challenges, including COVID-19.
