The annual Minority Rights Summer Course has been running for over a decade, bringing together human rights law practitioners, researchers and students to review and discuss legal, political and practical issues faced by minority rights law, including the rights of indigenous peoples.
This year, the school has invited speakers ranging from established academics in fields relevant to minority rights, including international criminal law and international human rights law, expert practitioners from NGOs such as Minority Rights Group International and the Forest Peoples’ Programme, and international organisations notably the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The overarching focus of the course is on case law, to root discourse in the realisation rather than the proclamation of rights. You can find full course details and the three day programme of presentations in the Minority Rights Summer Course guide.
