Basics and fundamentals of International Human Rights Law and how to make compelling arguments for or against certain practices of IHRL in the UN/other international bodies
Approached international human rights from a structural standpoint, taking into consideration the legal framework and the layout of the regime.
I learned a lot about the inner workings of international human rights law and its various courts/treaties/covenants/etc. By studying different cases from different IHRL courts, we learned how these practices are implemented in different ways.
I learnt a lot about the UN's structure, processes and mechanisms, as well as other international and national institutions that contribute to enforcing international laws.
I learned how human rights law is interpreted by various states, and how the worlds largest institution of human rights has advantages and limitations. I also saw different perspectives, of while it was welcomed, was not exactly favorable or challenging.

It's good for students majoring in HR, not sure if those outside of the major would find as much value in it.
