Postdoctoral scholarship
Within the framework of the Inter-University Attraction Pole project 'The Global Challenge of Human Rights Integration: Toward a Users’ Perspective', the Perelman Centre for Legal Philosophy and the Legal Section of the Institute for European Studies (ULB) offer one Postdoctoral scholarship in Human Rights Law.
This research project departs from the observation that both rights holders and duty bearers in human rights law are confronted with a multitude of provisions differing in scope, focus, legal force and level of governance. This non-hierarchical accumulation of provisions has resulted in a complex and uncoordinated legal architecture that might hamper effective human rights protection. In this context, the core research objective of the proposed network is the study of human rights as an integrated body of law from a user perspective.
This project is coordinated by several professors in five different Belgian and one Dutch university: Eva Brems (UGent), Dirk Voorhoof (UGent), Yves Haeck (UGent), Koen De Feyter (UA), Paul De Hert (VUB), Stefaan Smis (VUB), Sébastien Van Drooghenbroeck (FUSL), Emmanuelle Bribosia (ULB) & Isabelle Rorive (ULB), Barbara Oomen (Utrecht University).
