GVPT309: From Declaration to Action: The United Nations and Human Rights

I developed this course with the aim to teach students about the history and development of human rights through the lens of the United Nations as an institution. The course will track how the UN formalizes and promotes human rights through treaties and bodies under the UN umbrella. The course will also discuss how these norms disperse informally between states as well as domestically. Students will leave the course with the ability to identify and assess the efficacy of current international efforts to promote human rights through international organizations. Taught Asynchronously Summer 2024.
