LLM Subject - 2021 - Kent Law School. Feel free to use it with due acknowledgment. About the Subject: Human rights occupy an extremely important place in contemporary discussions about law, justice and politics at both the domestic and the international level. Across all spheres of government, bodies of law and, pretty much, in every single social mobilization, human rights are invoked and debated. Just pay attention to the legal arguments underpinning or being mobilized in the news tonight. From access to drinking water and the protection of environmental resources in developed and developing countries, to contestations about the importance of more direct forms of citizens’ participation in the running of national and international affairs, to the challenging of gender stereotypes across the world, to battles around how to create a less unequal world, human rights have become an important language to advance all sorts of agendas. In doing so, human rights have become the horizon of what’s desirable and, at the same time, of what seems possible today. As such, human rights are giving a particular shape to our individual and collectives lives. This module approaches this key place occupied by human rights in the contemporary world from an international perspective. In placing our focus at the international level, the module aims to link the international human rights norms and human rights systems, with the actual practice and operation of human rights across the globe. Particular attention is paid in the module to the value, as well as the limits of human rights when they approach, or try to address the problems and the aspirations of six important ‘subjects’ – ‘subjects’ (human and non-human) which human rights have themselves helped to constitute in their current form: the Citizen, the Corporation, the Refugee, the Woman, the Non-Human Entity, and the Poor. The module is organized around lectures and seminars delivered by the convenor, as well as lectures given by invited guest speaker. Guest speakers are Kent Law School and external scholars with expertise in different areas of human rights. They will explore in their lectures how they have approached in their research and practice the six ‘subjects’ mentioned above (i.e. the Citizen, the Corporation, the Refugee, the Woman, the Non-Human Entity, and the Poor). The objective of inviting guest speakers to the module is to give you the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of different areas of human rights (in particular in terms of how human rights come to deal with the needs of specific subjects), and to familiarize you with different ways to think, theorize and use human rights today.

Since the end of the Cold War, the human rights agenda has been playing a significant role in shaping the foreign policies of powerful states, such as the United States and western European countries; the domestic political behavior of ruling elites in the Global South; and the agenda of global governance institutions, such as the United Nations. Despite the growing importance of human rights, incidents of violent conflict persist, especially within many states in the developing world. In most of these incidents—civil war, riots, violent protests, and so on—human rights abuses were being perpetrated by either state agents or nonstate armed actors. What explains the emergence of human rights violations? Why do states comply with human rights norms? This entry provides an analytical summary of contemporary social science research on the causes of human rights violations and outlines various important pathways and tools in which stronger human rights protection can be achieved.
