Course Description
This seminar explores the use of international human rights strategies to advance social justice advocacy in the United States. On issues ranging from racial disparities in the criminal justice system to access to housing, U.S. lawyers increasingly use the human rights mechanisms of the United Nations and Inter-American Human Rights System, draw on international human rights and comparative foreign law in litigation before U.S. courts, and engage in broader advocacy such as documentation, organizing, and education. They find that a human rights framework provides effective cross-cutting strategies, helps mobilize communities, and highlights the interdependence of economic, social, cultural, civil, and political rights.
