From a bipolar structure during the cold war 鈥� with the United States of America (and its allies) on the one side and the Soviet Union (and its satellites) on the other 鈥� the world has evolved into a multipolar system. While Russia has vastly diminished influence, at least on the political and economic playing fields, China seems torn between economic progress and political regression, and the United States is flirting with its latent isolationist tendencies, the European Union has emerged as the leader when it comes to the development of international law and policy. First, no legal systems have had and continue to have as much impact on the domestic laws of other countries, and the international legal framework, as the legal systems of European countries like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc. At the same time, the European Union itself has created a unique legal system, unlike any national or international system, which makes it difficult for the uninitiated to predict where it is going and how it is going to react to challenges, like Brexit, or a trade war with the U.S. Therefore, any legal professional anywhere in the world with interest in international trade, international relations, international business transactions, or even the further development of substantive areas, such as contract law, human rights, consumer protection, privacy law, (international) environmental law, etc. are well-advised to learn about the European Union, its legal system, and how it is a logical evolution of the Member State legal systems.

Around the world, children and adolescents make up over a quarter of the world population and are often the most vulnerable group at risk of violence, abuse, exploitation, and various forms of neglect.

The field of Technology, Justice, and Human Rights is a new and rapidly developing hybrid area of political, legal, and social topics of academic interest. This field is inspired by several different disciplines and concepts, such as law, human rights, economics, and globalization studies. The ever-growing importance of an interdisciplinary field addressing issues related to technology, justice, and human rights cannot be understated; in a 2021 report, Freedom House has stated that while some democratic governments have made good faith attempts to regulate the technology industry, state intervention in the digital sphere worldwide has clashed with technology companies鈥� approaches to safeguarding users鈥� data protection rights, contributed to the rise of authoritarianism in such countries as Belarus, Myanmar, Uganda, and created an unprecedented strain on free expression online through selective censorship of certain topics such as the COVID-19 pandemic while also failing to regulate the growing proliferation of false, misleading, and manipulated information on social media networks, all of which has placed human rights at risk around the world.
Various additional issues that are having an impact on human rights in cyberspace are for example cybercrimes or intellectual property rights and their protection. While classical crime should be punished as prescribed in the legislation, the same cannot be easily said and applied in case of cybercrimes. It is even more challenging if we consider some of the activities within cyberspace and their extent to be considered as criminal ones if dealing with hacktivism and what impact it will have on the administration of justice. Moreover, cybercrimes can be also committed in relation to intellectual property right holders, but with the latter, the broader question appears as to how intellectual property rights contribute to the enhancement of human rights promotion. In general, one of the issues to consider is the impact of technology on economic rights and freedoms as labor relations or trade.
This course is designed for students who would like to get an understanding of the various issues related to the internet and its regulation from a comparative perspective. At the theoretical level, students will be familiarized with interdisciplinary thinking on law, human rights, and technology studies. At the practical level, students will be exposed to examples of challenges of internet regulation such as anti-hacking laws, digital freedoms, data protection and privacy, online intellectual property rights, consumer protection laws and dispute resolution in e-commerce, etc., with a view towards analyzing the approaches of various countries in their regulation of the aforementioned fields.
The course provides insight into the law as a system of social relations regulation and as a measure of human freedom. Students will learn about sources of law, forms and typology of law, how the law operates through a set of legal means, what schools of legal thought have existed, and how law influences private and public life in a society. The course is basic for further studies of law; it gives students knowledge of the fundamentals of law, legal terminology, and notions.

A senior project is an original, individual, intellectual, and creative activity that will round out and cap your program of study. The drafting process will help you improve your critical thinking and writing skills as well as understand how to perform advanced legal analysis and research. At the culmination of the courses, you are to finish your senior project for its evaluation by the experts in the field and be prepared for the final defense.

This course examines the actors and organizations behind the remarkable development of human rights advocacy as well as the vast challenges faced by advocates today. Topics of study will cover the ethical and strategic dilemma as faced by modern-day human rights advocates; techniques and strategies central to human rights practice, including fact-finding, interviewing, monitoring, litigation, report writing, and media work; and the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in transnational legal and policy processes. This course will also examine debates about the ways in which modern human rights advocates are attempting to stretch the discourse to apply it in new contexts, including attempts to link human rights to the environment, corruption, natural resource extraction, and development. The course will contain a substantial critical and academic component but will also seek to engage students in 鈥渞eal-world鈥� skill-building exercises like press release writing, media interviews, and qualitative interviews with victims of and witnesses to human rights violations. The course also involves hands-on work with the human rights organization Scholars at Risk (SAR) to support detained and disappeared Uyghur scholars in China.
This seminar is an Open Society University Network (OSUN) course that connects seminars in Bard Annandale (taught by Prof. Thomas Keenan), Al-Quds Bard (taught by Prof. Jana Lozanoska). A number of activities, including the creation of an information archive and the coordination of advocacy campaigns, will take place across these campuses. Working collegially and responsibly with network peers is an important part of the course.
