Humans, Rights, and their Protection
This course (held in The Hague, Netherlands, and Strasbourg, France), is a survey of the theory and practice of human rights protection — including its history and development; the legal and political mechanisms; and the theological and philosophical foundations for reflecting on the nature and scope of human rights.
The course will emphasize the role of the United States in the protection of human rights, both domestically and within the international human rights system.
The course is taught from the Christian perspective. The doctrines of God, human nature, and the nature of civil society are of particular interest, as well as those concerning the Church, the family, the State, and vocation.
