The course is an elective course for both the MA and Certificate in Human Rights. It will touch upon the potential ways and means for moving human rights initiatives forward. The focus is on practical and applicable methods for engaging a particular movement or human rights goal that can include norm enforcement, public awareness, social mobilization, or achieving other goals of an organization or movement through efficient and available means. The course will consider litigation and its alternatives, providing the student with the necessary tools to make an educated decision as to how to best mobilize an organization or movement into action to achieve its goals. This includes working within existing frameworks, with other organizations, and with authorities, depending on the means available and the best route for achieving desired ends. We shall have input from practitioners in different countries who will describe their efforts and approaches as well as analyse students work output to assist in designing effective and strategic forms of action.
