MASTER'S DEGREE IN INTERCULTURAL HUMAN RIGHTS

A One-Year Program for Mid-Career Professionals

We are pleased to announce and would like to draw the attention of 
qualified applicants to our great program: "LL.M. / M.A. in Intercultural 
Human Rights."  This program is now accepting applications for the 
2002-2003 academic year.

This innovative program is designed to offer in-depth instruction on the 
critical issue of our time: the protection of human dignity across 
political, religious, social, economic and cultural lines.  It provides the 
most up-to-date legal insights on theory, policy, and practical 
developments in the arena of human rights.

Our mostly one-week compact courses that make up the program in 
intercultural human rights are designed to offer the highest quality of 
legal education in the combined areas of international law, international 
human rights law, humanitarian law, universal and regional systems of human 
rights protection, as well as complaint procedures. Specific issues of 
civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, refugees' 
law and rights, women's rights, children's rights, indigenous peoples' 
rights, human rights and religion, international criminal law and 
international trade are some of the courses addressed in detail.  Human 
Rights and Terrorism and Humanitarian Law will be new courses added in the 
2002-2003 academic year.

Through these intensive courses and supplementary offerings, students will 
be prepared for effective research and advocacy in the field. In 
interactive dialogue, networking with distinguished faculty, they will gain 
the best available inside knowledge of human rights in action.

The faculty of global distinction includes top-level United Nations 
experts, outstanding scholars, judges and practitioners in the field. As 
examples we would only refer to Professor Michael Reisman of the Yale Law 
School, former President of the Inter-American Commission on Human 
Rights;  Professor Erica Daes, longtime Chair of the UN Working Group on 
Indigenous Populations;  Professors Eckart Klein and Martin Scheinin of the 
UN Human Rights Committee;  Dr. Pierre-Michel Fontaine,  Chief, Office of 
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Democratic Republic of 
Congo;  Professor Kalliopi Koufa, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and 
Terrorism;  and Professor Iulia Motoc, Immediate Past President of the UN 
Subcommission on Human Rights.

natural and an exciting intercultural environment.
