This distance learning course provides participants with practical
guidance on how to protect human rights through the European
human rights system, and specifically the institutions and treaties
of the Council of Europe. Participants will be introduced to the
main European human rights conventions and jurisprudence,
primarily as developed through the European Court of Human
Rights. The course addresses European human rights standards
as they apply to civil and political rights, economic, social and
cultural rights, and the rights of minorities. Case studies on the
freedom of expression, homosexuality, violence against women,
protection of the mentally-ill, prisoner's rights, and the rights of
refugees and internally displaced persons, will deepen
participants' understanding of the European human rights
standards and machinery.Owner: Human Rights Education Associatespdf: www.hrea.org/courses/9E.html
