Course Content
This course, on human rights protection in Europe, has two main objectives. One is to provide an overview of the mechanisms of human rights monitoring in Europe centred on three regional organizations respectively, the Council of Europe, the European Union, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. In so doing, the course will seek and rehearse answers to the question whether these distinct mechanisms are evolving into one common European regime of human rights. The second objective of the course is to assess and evaluate what is arguably the most effective human rights protection mechanism in the world, namely the individual complaints system set up under the European Convention on Human Rights. The course will try to unpack this system through a detailed analysis of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights
