Summary

The LLM course based at the Transitional Justice Institute and School of Law, with staff expertise across a range of areas offers an LLM degree which is designed to give students a unique lens on the study of human rights in the contemporary international moment. The programme has been structured to ensure that students obtain a strong academic grounding in both international and domestic human rights law and the issues pertaining to transitional justice. The theme of the programme is 'from local to global and back', exploring the symbiotic relationship between international and municipal human rights law. The programme addresses the various mechanisms by which the rights agenda can be, and has been, advanced at international, regional and municipal levels, and the manner in which knowledge, expertise and experience between these levels has been and continues to be transferred. The programme addresses global challenges like migration and climate change in different modules while overall the programme embodies research and study essential to several Sustainable Development Goals including SDG16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions), SDG10 (reduced inequalities), SDG5 (Gender equality).
