Can explain the structure of legal instruments guaranteeing your/my human rights and how they work
Can explain each of human rights as your/my rights

授業の概要 After a brief review of the historical development of human rights and fundamental freedoms, this course explains the three levels of legal framework (international, regional and domestic) and ways in which human rights are guaranteed today. This course then analyses types of human rights duties (negative and positive duties) and manners of application (vertical and horizontal applications) before turning attention to a range of thematic topics of human rights from classical ones (slavery,torture,right to due process of law, equality before the law)to newer ones(right to know,right to privacy,right to die,right to live in peace).
