LAW 517 - Human Rights and Identity Groups
This course focuses attention on the use of identity groups as legal objects of special protection in international human rights law. Various concepts related to the protection of the rights of groups that have been identified as either “vulnerable” or historically discriminated against, such as women and children, are examined. Instruments and mechanisms as well as the conceptual framework for the protection of these groups (and other non-protected “vulnerable” groups) are considered in relation to their perceived vulnerabilities.
Prerequisites
LAW 509 and 510. (Prerequisites can be waived by special permission of the Law department).
