Students will explore the key concepts and elements of the Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) – a method to operationalise comprehensively human rights norms and standards within public policy, law, and development. HRBA models from the United Nations, development assistance field, national and municipal policy-making will be comparatively studied and discussed. In doing so students will develop a deeper and richer understanding of the conceptual and normative framework of human rights as applied in a coherent and consequential manner towards their full and effective realisation. The course aims at upper-year students interested in advanced approaches to human rights in law, public administration, public policy-making, and international and municipal development.
