Despite multiple treaties and international standards, states frequently restrict migrant rights, limit women s freedoms, and discriminate against minorities in defiance of international law. This course explores the weaknesses of international public law by analyzing the standards developed by international courts and bodies. Students will also examine the challenges involved in implementing these standards in national law. By combining case analysis on women, migrants, and minority s rights with a political perspective, this course provides the tools to assess whether international law remains capable of delivering justice or if its influence is eroding in today s political order.
