Description
This course is intended to provide students with the opportunity to understand the concept of human rights and the role the legal system plays and can play in protecting this revered ideal. "Rule of Law" indicates legal rule making as a set of principles that we are all obliged to obey either nationally or internationally. The idea of rights is indispensable to modern moral discussion, but it is also fraught with danger. Human beings possess "rights" that protects them from the aggression of others, and especially from the power of governments under which they live. The interaction of politics, law, the state and international organizations with regard to the general notion of human rights will be the subject of this course.
