Human rights are always hot topics, both domestically and internationally. The LLM International Human Rights Law will enable you to explore a wide range of subjects in this area, examine the latest developments and critically analyse the arguments on all sides of the debates. The two compulsory modules – International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law - will offer you a firm foundation for human rights specialisation. Practical work and case studies underpin solid theoretical teaching, equipping you with everything you need to work in this dynamic and challenging area of international law.
In the International Human Rights Law module, you will gain a critical understanding of human rights law from a comparative and cross-cultural perspective. The module also includes examination of theoretical and philosophical discussions on human rights, international and regional systems of human rights protection and the effectiveness of the United Nations system, and a focus on civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights.
The International Humanitarian law module offers analysis of a wide range of topics related to armed conflict, the protection of civilians, and the regulation of hostilities. You will explore the principles and sources of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), including the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, as well as customary international law. The module will also examine contemporary challenges in IHL, such as the legal status of non-state actors, the use of autonomous weapons, and the impact of counterterrorism measures on humanitarian protections.
