ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW (LW5074)

This course lays the groundwork for an advanced understanding of the international and regional human rights frameworks, both hard and soft law, that guarantee dignity for individuals and populations worldwide. International human rights law establishes the norms, jurisprudence and legal infrastructure necessary to promote the implementation of international human rights standards.

WOMEN, CONFLICT RES., & INTERNAT'L LAW (LW5080)

This course will examine the existing international legal framework for the protection of women’s rights and contrast the law with the nearly universal perception that the world of women is a private sphere, one where laws made in the public realm have less weight, or are more difficult to implement due to lack of witnesses, or worse, community acceptance of certain types of gender-based violence. But activists are making progress across the globe in combating insufficient implementation of women’s rights. This course will explore their remarkably innovative strategies to achieve conflict resolution and the protection of women in challenging circumstances.

INTER'L CRIMINAL LAW PRACT. & HAGUE TRIP (LW5085)

This course consists of one week of preparatory lectures at AUP at the start of the summer session followed by a one-week visit to The Hague (36 hours of court observation and discussion at one of the International Courts).

AUP SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (LW5086)
