| Human rights short courses - CPD accreditedThe Centre runs three short courses in human rights, one in each academic term. They are held on consecutive Monday evenings and taught by leading human rights lawyers and academic experts. They are all accredited by the Bar Standards Board and Law Society for CPD points.
International human rights law and practiceIn today’s legal, policy and business worlds, international human rights law affects the way all of us work, either explicitly or implicitly. A knowledge of international human rights standards is increasingly required. Therefore those involved in the legal professions – whether as barristers, solicitors, employed lawyers or judges – and those involved in government, public policy, business and civil society need to have a solid understanding of the breadth and depth of human rights principles. Run in collaboration with leading practitioners in the human rights field, this course provides a comprehensive understanding of human rights principles, their origins, the institutions responsible for their enforcement and how their content is determined. No course in the UK offers the range of expertise and the depth of understanding of human rights law available on this programme. This ten week course, held by way of a 2 hour session on consecutive Monday evenings, will run from 6 October - 8 December 2008.

War and armed conflict, even when in principle lawful, can result in some of the worst abuses and atrocities. This six-week programme examines the laws of war and international criminal law from the perspective of international human rights law. It confronts the crucial questions: are human rights law, the laws of war and international criminal law three distinct disciplines? Have they now become so entwined that it is not possible fully to understand one without some knowledge of the other? This course will next run in Spring 2009. Registration will open in Autumn.

(password protected) Understanding women's human rightsThis course examines the extent and depth of the international human rights law framework that guarantees the rights of women. The international human rights law framework on women’s rights is an invaluable resource and one that can be applied at all levels, from the international stage to the family unit. The collective wisdom of the international community in looking at the issues of women’s rights has applied and interpreted human rights in this area arguably more creatively than in any other. By understanding the international framework, the domestic agenda is significantly assisted in reaching its objectives.
