Document Summary
In the first two lessons, we went over a number of human rights, and we learned there are a whole variety of rights, political, economic, group-based and individual rights. It is also a matter of convenience, provides better framing, and gives more focus on the particular issue. Beginning of lesson 3 slides, beginning with what is international law? : we will now be focusing on the human rights law, different systems, and what international law says about human rights on the international and regional level. In another lesson we will cover some domestic mechanisms of human right protections. International law is a system of rules and principles that govern the international relations between sovereign states and other institutional subjects of international law, and have a status of law. Custom is the oldest and the original source of international law as well as law in general .
