科目名 The United Nations and the International Human Rights Regime 
担当教員 高橋　宗瑠
授業の目的、または到達目標 Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
Explain the provisions of international human rights conventions and the historical critiques of human rights;
Explain some of the main practical difficulties of implementing international human rights norms in concrete situations;
Explain in critical terms some of the successes and failures of the international human rights regime.
授業の概要 Students will be introduced briefly to the historical concepts of human rights as well as the historical criticisms of those concepts. After reviewing the current, state-based system of international law and international relations, we will examine the international human rights conventions, with classes dedicated to discussions on specific human rights topics. Finally, issues such as the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and the International Law of Armed Conflict (ILAC) will be discussed. The issue of Palestine will be examined, as a case study of the limitations of the international system.
