Topic 10. Freedom of religion.
Freedom of religion is among the most complex and difficult rights guaranteed by the Convention. Certain aspects of this right can be traced back to the Westphalian peace treaties. Yet, the case-law of the ECtHR started to take shape only after 1999. During this session freedom of religion and freedom of conscience will be discussed both from a legal and philosophical perspectives as it is necessary to determine the limits of state interference. Among the principal issues to be discussed are the rights necessary for the functioning of the churches, the restrictions imposed on the manifestation of one’s religion and the issue of religious symbols. It is also necessary to discuss the relation between freedom of religion and freedom of expression (caricatures on the prophet Mohamed) and the relation between freedom of religion and education.

Topic 11. Freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression, being one of the core values of the democratic society, together with the requirement of pluralism, is always balancing between the need to freely disseminate information and the need to respect one’s private interests. This balance is best explained by the European Court through its consistent case-law on the subject.
This will, in particular, include:
Mass-media freedom, criticism of politicians, access to information and protection of other individuals rights.

Topic 12. Freedom of assembly and of association.
Freedom of assembly is subjected to certain rules and restrictions. These rules and restrictions will be studies in light of the ECtHR case-law. Most know examples in the contemporary Russia will be analyzed (dispersal of anti-nationalist demonstration in the center of Moscow (Berladir and others *****ssia); cases of mass protest in Russia following elections to Russian Parliament of December 2011, Bolotnaya case etc).
International standards in protecting freedom of association will be presented during a course. A particular focus will be made on the current problematic that are followed by this right: Russian Law on NGOs – Foreign Agents, its qualification in lights of the European standards, the reaction of the Russian civil society and international community towards this legislation. Case: Golos and others *****ssia will be presented to students during the course.

Topic 13. HR Protection in the Context of Fight against Terrorism
The fight against terrorism is currently among the most important goals of international cooperation. But can the goal of fighting terrorism justify derogations from the obligation to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms? In order to answer this question it is necessary to analyse the case-law of the Court, placing a particular emphasis on Articles 2, 3 and 6 of the Convention. Among the issues that need to be discuss: the proportionality of the use of force and the conduct of counter-terrorist operations, the issue of extradition regarding alleged terrorists. Finally, the recent case-law development requires to take a close look at smart sanctions and the functioning of the UN sanctions committee in the light of fundamental rights.

Topic 14. Responsibility to protect
This topic contains two main parts. In the first part we will discuss the general prohibition of threat or use of force under international law and the cases where such use could be considered as lawful. In this regard we will analyse the Security Council authorisations for the use of force, the protection of civilians and peacekeeping forces and the concept of humanitarian intervention. We will discuss the intervention of British, French and US forces in Iraq in 1991; the intervention of NATO in Kosovo in 1999 and several operations in Africa.

Topic 15. Transitional justice
What transitional justice means? What are the tools of transitional justice? Do they effective in practice? What are the best examples of pacification of a region by using transitional justice mechanisms? What are the failure examples? The present topic would allow students to assess the mechanisms to be applied in reaction toward gross human rights violations already committed in the past. This is the heavy burden to have for any society and the transitional justice is positioned as a necessary tool to overpass the issue.

Topic 16. Right to Self-Determination
The right to self-determination was first created as a legal instrument to deal with the collapse of the colonial system. However, the establishment of the right to self-determination as an international law principle raised a number of issues. How can this right be realized? Does the right to self-determination gives to a territory the right of secession from a state? How does self-determination interact with the principle of territorial integrity? Does the international community have the duty to recognize the independence of newly-formed state? Right to Self-Determination and secession of states. Right to self-determination and the pinciples of territorial integrity and uti possidetis. Right to Self-Determination and the issue of recognition.

8 Образовательные технологии / Teaching Methods and Recommendations
The course is interactive and involves power point presentations, interventions by guest speakers, cases studies, moot courts and other interactive methods. Students are also required to post blogs and interact with foreign students by commenting on their blogs, entering discussions, etc.
8.1 Методические рекомендации преподавателю / Recommendations for course teacher
Course teacher is advised to use interactive teaching methods which allow for most student participation such as: discussions, case studies, role plays. It is also expected that videos, Power Point presentations, and distant video conferencing will be used for teaching.
The course is intended to be based on real-life case studies, multimedia examples and current events.
8.2 Методические указания студентам / Recommendations for Students
The course format mixes lectures, group discussion, and film/video presentations made by students. Each of the student will be asked to make at least one presentation during the course. Students should take notes, both on lectures and on the reading, and films, with the intention of addressing the key themes of the course.
The readings are demanding and require intensive examination of a broad variety of issues and modes of thought. We will be discussing contentious cultural and political issues relating to human rights in this course. Students are encouraged to express diverse perspectives. You are likely to encounter strong opinions and it is inevitable that at least some of these opinions will make you or your colleagues uncomfortable. You will be expected to strike a healthy balance between arguing your own position on these issues, listening to others, and helping the class as a collectivity to explore how the authors that you read defend their approaches. Students and the instructors should interact with each other in a mutually respectful manner. They should articulate their ideas, concerns, arguments, critical questions and responses without alienating, marginalizing, or humiliating anyone. (.
9 Оценочные средства для текущего контроля и аттестации студента/Valuation tools for current check and assessment of the Students
The current check and assessment of the Students will be based on a multiple-choice test. The participation of the students in the discussion and the presentation they make during the course will also be assessed. The current check may also be organized by preparation of a case study and by an oral interview.
10 Порядок формирования оценок по дисциплине/The course grading scale
Professors assess students’ work in class: active participation in discussions during the courses.
Оintermediate for 1st module = 0,5·О work in class + 0,5·Оmidterm test
Оcumulative for 2nd module= 0,4* Оhomework №1 + 0,6* Оwork in class for 2nd module
Оintermediate for 2nd module = 0,5·* О cumulative for 2nd module + 0,5·* Оmidterm exam
Оcumulative for 3d module= 0,3* Оhomework №2 + 0,2* Оwork in class for 3d module + 0,5* Оessay
Оcumulative final= (Оintermediate for 1st module+ Оintermediate for 2nd module+ Оcumulative for 3d module): 3
Оfinal = 0,6·Оcumulative final + 0,4·Оfinal exam
The approximation method for the current, cumulative, intermediate and final grade is arithmetic.
During the intermediate control the student has to demonstrate knowledge of basic Human Rights conceptions and skills to apply it.
During the final control the student has to demonstrate that he/she has entirely adopted the prospected material (knows basic concepts, theoretical approaches to “human rights”, “globalization” concepts definition, understands basic and developing doctrines in these fields, uses correctly the terms, knows standards, can put gathered data into social and political contexts and so on), is able to analyze and comprehend information he/she got in a creative way, can evaluate easily and quickly a practical situation, possesses skill to explain studied issues.
During the repeating of the exam the student is not provided with the chance to obtain additional mark to compensate the grade for current or intermediate controls.
Final control grade which is the resultant grade for the course goes to certificate of degree.
