LLM in International Human Rights Law & Practice |
| LLM IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW & PRACTICE What makes us distinct •work on real human rights issues through a compulsory law clinic, which gives practical skills, hands-on experience and improved job prospects; •opportunity to work alongside human rights defenders during a two-week field visit to Malaysia; •learn from international human rights defenders based at the Centre; and •explore how international human rights law interacts with national public policy in various states. Overview The key paradox of international human rights law is that the recent proliferation of treaties and adjudicative bodies has not significantly diminished serious human rights abuses. Our LLM engages students in a critical and nuanced examination of this paradox, while providing them with the practical knowledge necessary to apply global norms at the local level.
