Topics will be devoted to the human rights movement, the international law of human rights and the international justice system, specifically focus on selected human rights cases.

The course will also provide training in the history and substance of human rights, the international justice system and the international human rights law, bringing a global perspective to our curriculum. The course will focus on critical readings and discussion of international law, constitutional law and human rights in the Global Hispanic and Lusophone World. The interdisciplinary approach of the course is based on approaching these issues from an historical, legal, philosophical and political perspective.
