LAWSG152: Human Rights in Europe // Dr Virginia Mantouvalou

Human rights law has acquired a central role in Europe. The Council of Europe, the main supranational human rights organisation in the region, is considered to be effective and paradigmatic at international level, primarily because of the role of the European Court of Human Rights that monitors compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights.
The European Union, which was not traditionally a human rights organisation, has started to grant human rights a much more central role than it used to.
The aim of the module is to investigate both jurisdictions, looking at the substantive law and its monitoring, philosophical issues on its interpretation, as well as the politics on matters such as immigration and social rights.
