Course Description
This course provides students with substantial knowledge of European Human Rights Law by looking at the functioning and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Based in Strasbourg, France, the ECtHR is among the most powerful human rights bodies in the world. This course gives students the chance to learn about the procedure before the Court, its organization as well as about the main issues adjudicated by the Court under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The course starts by giving an overview of the Council of Europe, the “mother organization” of the ECtHR, of the ECHR and of the ECtHR. Then the course teaches students how to bring an application to the ECtHR, how the ECtHR renders its judgements, and how the Court interprets the ECHR. The last part of the course approaches the issue of jurisdiction of the ECtHR, the problem of derogations from the ECHR and explains how the Court interpreted the ECHR with a focus on the prohibition of torture, the right to respect for private and family life, and the prohibition of discrimination.
