This programme provides you with a basic knowledge of human rights andᅠhow they are applied and affected by the world we live in. The concept of human rights has a legal content, namely that the state has the obligation to, in accordance to agreements in international law, implement these rights for individuals at national level. The state also has the obligation to protect individuals from violations and abuses. The human rights concept also deals with issues of politics and philosophy, such as morals and justice.This programme also deals with questions regardingᅠ international relations, a subject closely related to the general development and understanding of human rights.
