Many believe that international human rights law is one of our greatest moral achievements. However, huge gaps remain between the theory and the practice of human rights implementation. You ll study the interconnections between international human rights law and regional and national systems of human rights protection. Studying legal texts such as treaties, declarations and case law, you ll examine the legal context behind contemporary issues and challenges. Many of the staff engage in interdisciplinary human rights research, which is reflected in our teaching. This is an area of research strength at Sussex.
