This course has been developed by the University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education and the George Washington University Law School. The course has been running since 1995 and takes place annually in July. In 2008 the course will be held in New College, Oxford.
For the 2008 session, the programme has assembled an internationally recognised faculty offering courses on the philosophy, history, doctrine and practice of international human rights law. The programme offers an introductory course on the fundamentals of international human rights law, an advanced seminar on human rights lawyering, and afternoon electives that address important contemporary issues in the field.
The aims of the programme are to develop participants' advocacy and dissemination skills, as well as their formal knowledge of human rights law and the means for its enforcement. More broadly, the programme is intended to prepare students to contribute to the improvement of human rights conditions in their homelands and around the world.
