The week-long summer school programmes offer participants a unique chance to immerse themselves in two increasingly important areas of international criminal law and international human rights law, and to benefit from the knowledge of an unrivalled panel of experts. Each of the intensive programmes also includes a variety of social activities that allow participants to network with each other and the panel in a relaxed and friendly environment, ensuring the programmes are instructive and enjoyable

*************************************************************************************************************************************************

The rights of minorities and indigenous peoples form a crucial element providing balance within the overall human rights system, premised as that system is on the fundamental notions of equality and democratic decision making. This highly acclaimed course gives an overview of the legal, political and philosophical issues pertaining to international human rights law and its relationship to minority rights and the rights of indigenous peoples. In addition, each year it gives a more in depth perspective on a particular theme.

Religion has a fraught relationship with minority and human rights standards, being perceived at once as a right and a cause of the denial of rights. The theme of this years school highlights religion in contemporary minority rights discourse, focussing on issues such as: religious minorities, religion and international institutions, Islam in Europe, caste, indigenous peoples and spiritual beliefs, women and religion, genocide and defamation of religion.
