Sustainable Development and Global Human Rights (ILO-L227)

Spring 2024 · ILO L227 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

In an age of multiple crises for international law and relations and for multilateral institutions, it is essential to deepen the study of the relevance and function of international law to the shared challenges of coexistence, development and survival of human communities. This course on Sustainable Development and Global Human Rights (SD-GHR) is framed to focus attention on the role of human rights and its mechanisms globally in complementing the contemporary challenge of sustainable development. An emphasis in the course will be on illustrating how the norms and mechanisms of international human rights law and sustainable development coexist around five themes: data and digital participation; hunger; water; health and knowledge management; and reduction of violence and access to remedies.
