Classes will consist of lecture presentations, with questions and discussions by students strongly encouraged.

International protection of human rights

This seminar provides an introduction to the political and legal role of human rights in international relations. Beginning with an exploration of the origins and philosophical underpinnings of the idea of human rights, the seminar will focus on the tangible impact of human rights in international relations and the various mechanisms through which such impact may be achieved. The process of how ‘human rights’ has become increasingly internationalized in order to protect the individual from abuse will be explained. We will then analyze the failures, as well as the successes of how international efforts, at both the universal and regional intergovernmental levels and NGO activity can monitor and control the abuse of sovereign power and at times even provide a remedy to human rights victims. A good part of the class will focus on the legal and especially judicial protection of human rights beyond the state. The first part of the seminar explain the institutions and mechanisms for the protection and promotion of human rights at universal and regional levels as the second part puts the emphasis on the substantive aspect of human rights by analyzing the main human rights successively. The course is subject to continuous evaluation which means that attendance is mandatory. The evaluation is based on the participation to the seminar notably at the occasion of an oral presentation. Furthermore a written evaluation is also consists in a final exam and a paper elaborated in groups of 3 or 4 persons.

Private International Law

This course will begin with a general presentation on concepts of Private International Law. It will first explain both the history and sources of this peculiar branch of law, and then present its methods, as well as its role and importance in today’s fast evolving European market. Afterwards it will focus on conflict of laws theory, which aims to determine how courts determine what national laws are applicable to international disputes. All mechanisms involved in the resolution of such matters will be defined before examining various detailed rules of Private International Law related to specific areas such as family law, contracts and torts. The European Union’s action in this field will be particularly stressed. In conclusion, the course will give an overview of the European Regulations on Conflicts of Jurisdiction, as this knowledge is vital to anybody intending to understand the ins and outs of private international law in Europe.

Indigenous peoples and decolonisation

Today, Indigenous Peoples’ rights are outlined in international law conventions such as the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) or the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (through the Nagoya Protocol). This course will investigate how and whether these rights are being put into action through norm and regulation processes around the world at the national and local levels. In order to do this, it will take a deeper look at the theories of postcolonialism, decolonisation and anti-colonialism proposed by academics and activists. Mainly focusing on British settler societies, this course will also investigate the different methods of colonisation: trade, religion, culture, science, mapping, and knowledge production. It will discuss the pre-colonial, the colonial period and its aftermath. We will explore such questions such as, what are traditional knowledge, customary law systems and the different forms of indigenous governance? What are Indigenous Peoples’ connections to Nature and how do they differ to Western practices? How was colonial power enforced and what are its remnants today? How is justice perceived and can it be achieved for Indigenous Peoples? What are Indigenous Peoples doing to attain what they want? What (re)conciliation processes exist between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in settler colonies? In taking this course, students will be asked to reflect on the notion of ‘Western society’, and analyse what the features of a true ‘postcolonial society’ might be and whether one can exist.

Schedule:

Students will be required to prepare for each lecture: the reading of an article/book excerpts, or the viewing of media documents, and the answering of questions. Student’s grades for this course will consist of an evaluation of student class participation and a written paper or oral exam (depending on class numbers).
