The course aims to provide future legal practitioners with the basic tools necessary for carrying out tasks aimed at the protection of human rights in a national and international multicultural and multireligious context.
The first module of the course aims to provide the basis for the knowledge of the "human rights" object of international cooperation, with particular attention to the debate on their universality. This objective will be achieved both through the knowledge of the main international texts, their genesis and their contents (Knowledge and understanding) and through the study of “regional” reception models with particular attention to the so-called Islamic and Asian models of human rights both through the constant reference of the textual normative data to the cultural matrix that originated it (applying knowledge). The comparative framework will allow the acquisition of a reflective capacity aimed at understanding the social, political, cultural and religious conditioning in the application of human rights as well as an aptitude for critical analysis of the situations examined (making judgments). Finally, the student, also thanks to the final written essay will improve her/his communicative and writing skills together with the personal re-elaboration of the information received (learning skills).
The second module of the course will provide in-depth knowledge on the United Nations Agenda 20-30 with particular attention to the Euro-Mediterranean framework (knowledge and understanding) by exercising the students to transfer general knowledge (applying knowledge) to the analysis of the issues specific (ecological issue; women's rights; children's rights; right to education ...) developing adequate evaluation skills (making judgments) to be adequately discussed and re-elaborated also in view of the final interview (communication and learning skills).
