Content
The unit provides an overview of the development, substance and enforcement of international human rights law, as well as its implementation in law and policy in Australia. We will consider the philosophical concepts of human rights as well as the development of the contemporary international human rights regime. We will also look at the various rights recognised in human rights law, the manner in which they can be limited as well as means for enforcement using select case studies to highlight the operation of human rights norms. The unit has a particular focus on the relationship between government policy and human rights practice.
