Purpose: The series is meant to provide basic knowledge about the rapidly expanding human rights regime, including how it gradually has come to address the rights of women, children and indigenous peoples. The series starts with an introductory lecture in week 4, to be followed by a series of lectures in April and a concluding lecture in late May.

Target Groups: PhD and MA level students in the social sciences and humanities, especially those who are specialising in gender studies, development studies, conflict studies and indigenous studies.

The first lecture was held Thursday, 22.01.2004, An introduction to the Human Rights Regime: its roots and recent expansion
The first lecture outlined the causes for the rise and expansion of the HR-regime. The major human rights instrument was presented. The differences of rights based and a development approach to development was subsequently discussed, followed by a brief overview of ways in which to operationalize a rights-based approach in policy development and planning.


The two last lectures will take place Wednesday, 28.04.2004, 12.15-14.00 and Thursday 29.04.2004, 10.15-12.00
