Det Juridiske Fakultet ved Justus Liebig Universitet Giessen ser frem til at være vært for studerende fra hele verden til det 4. Internationale Online Vinteruniversitet i International Menneskerettighedsret og International Humanitær Lov. Det Internationale Vinteruniversitet finder sted i januar 2025 og tilbyder en dybdegående tilgang til aktuelle udfordringer i international menneskerettighedslov og international humanitær lov og miljøbeskyttelse.
Programmet giver dig et fundament i international menneskerettighedsret og international humanitær ret, før du diskuterer de store debatter og udfordringer, der i øjeblikket findes inden for disse retsområder. Dette vil primært fokusere på de problemstillinger, der er til stede inden for begge retsområder og overveje, hvordan lignende problemstillinger gribes forskelligt an. Giver dig mulighed for at værdsætte forskellene mellem internationale menneskerettigheder og international humanitær lov, og hvordan begge disse retsområder på forskellige måder søger at beskytte enkeltpersoner.
Programmet kombinerer undervisning af høj kvalitet af fremragende undervisere og praktikere fra hele verden.

- ECTS
Ikke-amerikanske deltagere vil blive tildelt 6 ECTS-point. European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System [ECTS] er et elevcentreret system baseret på den arbejdsbyrde, der kræves for at nå målene for et kursus. Organisationens mål er at lette de studerendes mobilitet og derfor forenkle processen med meritoverførsel. Systemet er baseret på den antagelse, at 60 point svarer til arbejdsbyrden for en fuldtidsstuderende i løbet af et studieår. Studerendes arbejdsbyrde på et fuldtidsstudium i Europa udgør cirka 40 uger om året, og i dette tilfælde svarer en kredit til 24 til 30 arbejdstimer. For mere information om ECTS besøg venligst EU's hjemmeside.
Bemærk venligst: ECTS-point tildeles kun ved bestået eksamen.
Formålet med kurset er at hjælpe dig
- udvikle en kritisk og analytisk forståelse af baggrunden for aktuelle debatter i international humanitær ret og international menneskerettighedsret;
- udvikle en kritisk forståelse af forskellen mellem international humanitær ret og international menneskerettighedslov ved at undersøge lignende spørgsmål fra begge perspektiver;
- forbedre den kritiske forståelse af regulatoriske grænser inden for en moderne, hurtigt bevægende og geopolitisk kontekst;
- styrke et kritisk og spørgende sind, der er i stand til at præsentere teoribaserede argumenter med sammenhængende beviser om international menneskerettighedslovgivning og international humanitær ret; og
- forbedre forskningsfærdigheder og brug af en bred vifte af primære og sekundære materialer, national og international lov, blød lovgivning og akademiske kilder.

The Course offers an in-depth approach to current challenges faced in International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law with a special focus on the protection of the environment. The first week of the program offers students a foundation in public international law including International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law. The second week focuses on a more specialized overview of the specific challenges and topics relevant to environmental protection.
The tailored courses of the program allow students to gain a comprehensive understanding of a wide range of discussions relevant to International Humanitarian Law, International Human Rights Law, and general Public International Law. The program empowers the student’s ability to consider interactions between various fields of law and their response to environmental protection. The selected lectures will offer expertise and analysis of approaches, developments, and current challenges present within these fields.
Reading and preparation
All of the materials cited in this course will be available in digital form. Links will be included in each citation where available. Students are expected to actively participate in the lectures, and therefore students must prepare for the lectures by reading the provided materials.
Assessment
The final examination will be a take-home exam taking place after the program, preliminary on Saturday 18th of January, and Sunday 19th of January. After the exam questions have been published, the students are allowed to use as much time as needed for the exam and need to submit it by the set deadline. To pass the exam, the students need to show their comprehension of the taught material by answering questions in essay form. Further details will be issued during the course. Due to the nature of the program, all the exam results are final, and no possibility to retake the exam will be offered.
Attendance policy
Students are required to participate in all lectures, with absences generally not being allowed. Exceptions to this rule can be made due to exceptional circumstances. If the students do not excuse an absence beforehand, they are not allowed to write the final exam and will therefore be unable to receive academic credits.
Credits and grading scale
Upon successful completion, 6 ECTS will be awarded for the class. According to the rules of ECTS, one credit is equivalent to 25-30 hours of student workload.
The exams will be graded within three weeks after the end of the program and in addition to the ECTS, the students will receive a certificate of participation. The certificates and transcripts of records will be issued within two weeks after the end of the grading period.
