Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Law

Description:

This research seminar provides an opportunity to understand the idea of human rights, its origins, and its implications. It is not a positive law course about existing international human rights, guarantees, and their applications. The seminar's aim is to examine and evaluate alternative conceptions of human rights, their functions, articulate, and evaluate various types of purported justifications for saying that there are human rights, and grapple with the problem specifying the content of various putative human rights in such a way as to guide their legal guarantees, and implementation.
