This LLM pathway provides an understanding of the human rights regime at international, regional and national levels. This award aims to equip students with a better understanding of some of the main contemporary topics and debates within international human rights law.
A unique aspect of this programme of study is the inclusion of a practical approach to the investigation of human rights violations, which will include some field work. This focuses on the investigation of human rights abuses and includes activities such as trial observations, interviewing victims of human rights violations, and analysing criminal justice documentation, to identify areas of possible violations.
