Course Overview
In this course,
we will examine the historical background of human rights development within the scope of such
international organizations as the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the European Union, as well as
human rights protection regimes in the rest of the world. We will also focus on the specific human rights
(including the rights to life, freedom, privacy) as they may be defined within each institution. Additionally,
we will investigate international crimes such as war crimes, the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity,
