Course Topics
The course provides students with knowledge about:
(i) the structure, the doctrine and practice of the Inter-American Human Rights System; and
(ii) a comparison between institutions, principles and rules of constitutional law of the member states of this regional human rights system.
The first element encompasses a study of the roles of the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights. This includes various forms of engagement between the System and the member states via cases, protective measures, rapporteurships, country visits, press releases, and special mechanisms.
The second element covers a study of the similarities and differences between constitutional rights standards and an analysis on the extent to which the Inter-American Human Rights System can be the basis for building a common constitutional law across the Americas.
Inter-American Human Rights Law and Comparative Constitutional Law is part of a series. The first course in the series—The Relationship Between International Human Rights Law and Domestic Law—will be presented by our partner school, Universidad Espíritu Santo (UEES-Ecuador) from September 14 to November 24.
