disciplinary perspectives on the subject of human rights including philosophy, sociology and law. It provides students with contending interpretations of human rights as an idea and practice from the different standpoints that the disciplines present. The course applies the insights of disciplinary frameworks of understanding to key human rights issues such as universality, the right to life, free speech and globalization. This course is designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the conceptual and legal problems raised by the development of a global human rights regime and to help students think their way through some of the complexities of European human rights law. It will provide an introductory analysis to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the substance of European human rights law, by looking at different generations of rights, their content and relation to each other, through an analysis of different “functions” of human rights (protection, participation, distribution, inclusion). The students are expected after the conclusion of the course to be able to: - identify various solutions to legal problems at hand and in addition, apply the relevant international law norms/rules in a qualified manner - read and understand international case-law as well as identify the relevant issues in the concrete case - analyse the human rights norms in a contextual manner, i.e. to apply an ideological perspective.
