Human rights abuses still occur, despite growing numbers of international treaties and organisations dedicated to their eradication. The LLM in International Human Rights Law and Practice engages students in a critical, nuanced and interdisciplinary examination of this paradox.

Students will learn about issues central to the work of human rights scholars and practitioners including states and non-state actors as perpetrators and duty-bearers; standard-setting versus implementation; and the interaction between law, policy and advocacy at local, regional and global levels. Whether students are mid-career professional or recent graduate, the LLM enables students to acquire the substantive knowledge, versatile skills and valuable networks necessary to work in the human rights field.
