Learning outcomes
|
The course is focused on the assumptions of the origin of human rights. At the same time, an answer will be sought to the question of whether human rights, which, unlike civil rights, are inalienable, can be considered rights natural. Last but not least, it will be about getting acquainted with the basic documents on human rights and the mechanisms of their protection and enforcement
Learning outcomes: students will acquire the following academic knowledge: -can systematically interpret particular issues and illustrate the links with individual thinkers or historical epochs - can present a foreign language text (about 20 pages) on the issue and confront it critically with a primary text. - understand the various documents related to human rights and compare them.
