About the course
The advanced international training course Human Rights for Development(HR4DEV) maps the potential and limits of human rights in development and development cooperation. The course consists of a general part (two weeks on human rights and development), and a thematic part on the right to health. It targets 'leaders of the future' in practice, policy and academia. What are the potential and limits of human rights for development? What is the added value of rights’ approaches to global problems such as poverty, environmental challenges, armed conflict and migration? How can human rights contribute to social justice? How to apply a human rights-based approach in practice? These are only some of the questions that will be addressed from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, in the first module of the course.
The second module focuses on national and international dimensions of the 'right to health.' Participants will be introduced to the tensions between public health goals and human rights aims from both a Northern and Southern perspective; including issues like informed consent.
In addressing the limits of national and international dimensions of the right to health challenges related to; delineating obligations, global health governance, financing and the health workforce will be covered. The implications of the universal health coverage concept shaping the post 2015 global health agenda will also be explored by participants.
Participants are encouraged to take the full course, but can also apply for one module.
