Course objectives
International law has been gradually developed in the direction of the cohesive protection of human rights. The individual has stopped being an object of international regulation and acquired the legal status of a person of international law, though dependant, uncertain and marginal. The field of international human rights protection has been discovering an advantageous legal position for an individual since s/he has been endowed with individual human rights but the state is bound in respect of her/him by negative or positive duties. The above-mentioned field of international order does not only govern "the having" of human rights but also the control and implementation mechanisms or procedural rules. The dichotomy of human rights regulation (substantive and procedural) provides vital impetus for their respect at the domestic level. The international regime, however, lays down only subsidiary protection. The international treaties and conventions on human rights create the basis of the mentioned sub-system. The instruments of this kind does not express the "dead letter" but living norms the interpretation of which covers different intellectual operations including invisible instinctive processes. The canons of interpretation have dehierarchized position, i.e. they do not remain on mutually subordinate positions. The following methods are used for the interpretation of human rights rules: linguistic, systematic, logic, teleological, functional, comparative, "margin of appreciation", dynamic, etc. Acquiring the above-mentioned canons is an inevitable objective for teaching human rights that results in understanding their mutual interdependence and interdetermination. The exact purpose of the mentioned discipline can be seen then in expressing the human extent of international law that results from the spring of anthropocentrism and humanism.
