Learners should leave this class with a substantive understanding of human rights globally and how countries are asked to be accountable for these rights to their citizens. They will also leave this course with an understanding of the framework of international institutions put in place to uphold these rights. Finally, learners should leave this course with a stronger ability to make arguments and provide reasoning and evidence to back up their assertions as well as having an introduction into the various roles of actors in a court proceeding. 

I am a human rights attorney with over a decade of experience within United Nations courtrooms. I am also a University Professor teaching international human rights law at the masters level and have, for three years now, taken that experience and developed human rights related courses for middle and high school learners.
