Overview
Although essential legal frameworks are in place, current times have brought several significant challenges to the protection of human rights both globally and in Europe.
Key facts
This course explores contemporary challenges facing international human rights law. Human rights law has become an essential pillar of international and European Union law. Nevertheless, many challenges to the safeguarding and promotion of human rights remain, affecting various dimensions of the multilevel human rights framework. Challenges arise from diverse factors such as technological development, policy goals, social and other crises, armed conflicts, etc. In the summer school, participants will delve into critical issues, debates, and evolving trends within the field.
