Accordingly, the past 50 years have seen the rapid and ever-expanding development of human rights across a great number of subject areas. The mechanisms for monitoring, and, in some cases, adjudicating upon the implementation of human rights guarantees have evolved significantly over this period. The objective of this course is to stimulate an understanding of international human rights law and of the processes which underpin the creation, development, and enforcement of norms and instruments in this area. The course also aims to enable students to develop a grasp of the significance of international human rights law in New Zealand domestic law. Students completing this course should be able to identify and understand current international human rights structures, procedures and problems, as well as their relevance in international affairs and for New Zealand law and practice.
Examination is 'open book'.
