Course Catalog

The course focuses on human rights litigation in a globalized world, where traditional protection mechanisms of public international law that heavily rely on the state prove increasingly insufficient to ensure accountability of business actors for human rights violations. Apart from offering students a solid doctrinal foundation in the multi-disciplinary field of ‘business and human rights’, the course also enables them to place human rights litigation in its broader social, economic and political contexts, including issues of development and the role of global civil society.
