This micro-credential addresses skills development needs in the increasingly important subject of European human rights law. Learners will critically examine key aspects of the operation and substantive law of the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In particular, this micro-credential focuses on the ECHR's incorporation into domestic law, the individual complaint procedure as it is operated by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), methods of interpretation by the ECtHR, and in-depth analysis and critical evaluation of the ECtHR's jurisprudence across a representative selection of ECHR rights. This micro-credential fits within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations, specifically SDG Number 16 on Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. This micro-credential is aimed at legal professionals (solicitors and barristers), researchers, activists, and campaigners involved in human rights issues in the European context. It is also particularly suited to those working in the civil service, where compliance with human rights law under the ECHR is required, as well as human rights professionals working in international organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
