LL.M in Human Rights 2005-2006: Workshop on Public International
Law, October 2005 |
|
Master
of Laws in Human Rights [LL.M(HR)]
|
The University
of Hong Kong’s LL.M in Human Rights was established
in 1999 to meet the increasing demand for practical
and theoretical knowledge about human rights throughout
the Asian region.
Our goals are to equip students with a thorough understanding
of the relevant international, regional, and domestic
human rights norms and how to use them effectively.
Our teaching focuses on substantive and procedural international
law issues relevant to the practice of human rights,
but we also draw from international relations, history,
politics, philosophy, sociology and other disciplines
to ensure that law is understood in context. While the
Programme is international and encompasses human rights
developments around the world, we pay close attention
to issues that are most relevant to Asia.
