Overview

Are you a master’s student or a professional new to international law and relations? On  Human Rights and International Criminal Law - An Introduction at University of Padova by FutureLearn , you will build your understanding of human rights law (HRL), international criminal law (ICL), and how the two concepts relate to each other.

Key facts

  • In week one, you’ll explore how international law instruments and institutions deal with human rights protection. You’ll also examine the history of the international criminal court (ICC) and how it was established to hold serious criminals responsible for their crimes.
  • You’ll analyse the progress and challenges of ICL in addressing sexual and gender violence, focusing on the international legal framework for these sorts of crimes.
  • There is a very poor conviction rate for sexual assault and rape cases, so you’ll evaluate how the international community can ensure accountability for sexual crimes.

  • The parallel development of human rights law (HRL) and International criminal law (ICL)

  • HRL and ILC courts: mapping the respective competencies and tasks
