Course Title: Human Rights Law
Course Description:
The course is an in-depth study of human rights law, both under international law and domestic laws. Human Rights Law
is a set of international and local rules, established by treaty or custom and embodied in the Philippine constitution and
statutory laws, on the basis of which individuals and groups can expect and claim certain behavior or benefits from
governments. Human rights are entitlements which belong to every person as a consequence of being human. This subject
aims to study the historical origin and development of human rights law and critically analyze the International Bill of
Human Rights, the Seven Core International Human Rights Treaties, and the Regional Treaties on Human Rights. It also
includes the study of the Constitutional History of Human Rights in the Philippines, the philosophy of the provisions of the
Philippine Constitution on the Bill of Rights and other provisions of the Constitution relating to human rights, the National
Human Rights Statutes, and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights. The observance, enforcement, and
implementation of HRL through international, regional, and local mechanisms established by various treaties,
governments, and non-government organizations shall be emphasized.
