*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
