Deadline for application: 5 September 2017 


The Institute for Human Rights of the Åbo Akademi University organizes intensive human rights law courses, which are taught by internationally renowned human rights experts.

The upcoming course on Contemporary Challenges to International Human Rights Law addresses and critically discusses some of the contemporary challenges to the protection of human rights. It presents the legal contours within which states are to realise their human rights obligations and contemplates upon the role of human rights in addressing power and distribution imbalances as well as exclusion.
