Human
Rights and Human Wrongs in South-Eastern Europe continues a series started in 2001. The School is conceived
as a two-week modular course of lectures, workshops, discussions, case studies,
curriculum and project development exercises. A general overview of the UN
and the European human rights protection systems with an extensive focus
on issues of importance to South-Eastern Europe (Dayton Agreement, Kosovo
Agreement, Stability Pact) will serve as a thematic base for interactive
learning about human rights. An analysis of the main human rights protection
instruments in place, their applicability, effectiveness and means of implementation
in the South-East European context will be discussed and assessed.
An important accent of the course will be the introduction of innovative
HR teaching methodologies, role-plays and the development of common follow-up
project ideas by the course participants.
