International Human Rights Law
Summer School
This summer school offers participants the opportunity to follow an
intensive programme of university-level study in international human
rights law within in the beautiful surroundings of New College,
Oxford. The programme was established by the University of Oxford and
George Washington University Law School in 1995 and around 1200
students and practitioners from all over the world have attended the
summer school since that time.
Over four weeks, faculty, participants and invited guests create an
international camp where key contemporary challenges to the protection
of human rights and dignity are placed into focus. The residential
nature of the course allows participants to emerge themselves in the
topic and create lasting connections with faculty and peers. This
intensive programme explores the international and regional human
rights law and enforcement machinery and a range of challenges to the
protection of human rights. The programme places a particularly strong
focus on the enforcement of law in practice.
The programme is taught by an internationally recognised faculty
combining both academic and practical experience. The course offerings
focus on the theory and practice of international human rights law and
include an introductory course in the fundamentals of international
human rights law, an advanced course in human rights advocacy and
electives that address important contemporary issues in the field. The
programme also includes a human rights film series, key note honorary
lectures, a careers panel and a number of social events.
The next session will run from 7 July to 3 August 2013. Further
information about the programme can be found by clicking on the links

If you would like to support human rights defenders who would not be
able to attend the programme due to financial restrictions, please
consider donating to the International Human Right Law Summer School
Bursary Fund. This fund has been set up to provide the opportunity, by
way of a bursary, for grass roots human rights defenders working in
the most challenging areas of the world to take part in the
transformative learning experience offered at Oxford on the Joint
Summer Programme in International Human Rights Law and build their
capacity to address serious human rights violations at the grass roots
level. If you would like to discuss the Bursary Fund, or are
considering a donation, please do not hesitate to contact Katherine
Duff, Head of Development +44
(0)1865 280762.
We hope you will find the programme of interest and if you have
further questions please contact us.

Літня програма у Віденському університеті
Міжнародна літня програма буде відбуватись із 13 липня по 10 серпня
2013 р. Учасникам пропонується курс із Європейських студій та курси
німецької мови.
Курс Європейських студій спрямований на те, щоб сфокусувати учасників
на Європі та Європейському Союзі. Курс включає політичні, економічні,
правові, а також історичні та культурні аспекти тих перетворень, що
проходять в даний час.
Організатори вважають, що літня програма відмінно доповнить
академічний курс учасників.
Міжнародна програма має на меті досягнути міжкультурного і
міждисциплінарного діалогу, тому пропоновані курси підійдуть усім,
оскільки охоплюють різні галузі навчання, але акцентують увагу на
Європі, Європейських студіях, політичній науці, праві (міжнародне,
європейське, порівняльне), економіці, історії, культурних студіях,
міжнародних відносинах, міждисциплінарних студіях та німецькій мові.
Студенти з усього світу залучаються до програми не лише через видатну
академічну репутацію навчального закладу та можливості, які пропонують
вивчати німецьку мову, але й через розташування безпосередньо на
березі озера Вольфганг. Це озеро є одним з найбільш мальовничих озер
Австрії, тут відмінні можливості для спорту і відпочинку.
Життя у таборі створює середовище, яке заохочує до міжкультурного і
соціального обміну та сприяє взаєморозумінню в рамках міжнародного
студентського кола. Учасники таким чином мають можливість розширити
свій кругозір, познайомитися з колегами з різних областей дослідження,
подружитися, і створити спільноту для подальшої професійної
діяльності.
Більше інформації про літню програму Ви зможете знайти на сайті.
Кінцевий термін подачі заявок: 30 квітня 2013 року
