... then LLM International and European Human Rights Law is the course for you.
LLM International and European Human Rights Law offers you the possibility of gaining advanced knowledge and insights into human rights debates across a range of topics.
You will examine national and international systems of rights protection, including the European Convention, UN and Treaty-based rights.
