<b><i>About the course</i></b></h2>
<br>
The advanced international training course<span> </span><i>Human Rights for Development</i>(HR4DEV) maps the<span> </span><b>potential and limits of human rights in development and development
cooperation</b>. 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.</span><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div><div><div><div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"><br><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">The second module focuses on national </span>and
