Human rights are guaranteed to all individuals and groups, without discrimination, by the law of the land. Universal human rights are ensured by governments and implemented by law, in the form of international law and treaties. International Human Rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
In this course, you will learn about Human Rights and the laws that govern and enforce them across South Asia. There are myriad provisions to ensure implementation of human rights when infringed upon. The course will provide a deep understanding of the special rights and issues of marginalised groups such as women, children, disabled, DNTs, LGBTQI, etc.; lacunae in the systems that guarantee rights to the vulnerable groups; and legal and civil remedies and interventions to protect them.
Certificate Course: Women Laws and Policy
Despite the host of legislative, judicial and administrative actions to empower women, this section of the Indian society remains marginalised. India has one of the highest number of laws for uplift, empowerment and protection of women. However, it’s implementation that remains weak owing to traditional mindset of the society and lackadaisical attitude of the authorities.The Indian Constitution guarantees right to gender equality and also empowers the State to make provisions for positive discrimination of women. In this course participants will learn about the law, landmarks judgements and policies for this gender.
The course will apprise you of: Concepts of feminism, gender, patriarchy, discrimination and empowerment in India; Being a woman in present-day societies around the world - case studies; Constitutional provisions for gender equality in India; Traditional crimes against women; Indian Laws protecting women's rights; Indian Personal Laws and status of women; Role of constitutional and administrative authorities such as NCW; Legal and Judicial provisions for empowerment and protection of women - PIL, Legal Aid, RTI; International perspective and role of International organisations such as the UN.
Certificate Course: Gender and The Law - Beyond Borders
The laws of a nation determine the legal, not social, status of men, women, transgenders and LGBTQI.
The course will explore the laws and policies regulating gender identity and sexuality; issues of gender identity and discrimination; perception in India and around the world. Section 377 of the Indian Constitution covers just the 'criminal' aspect of the existence of diverse genders. Key areas, such as gay marriage, separation, divorce, inheritance and adoption, that directly affect the community have not received any attention whatsoever. Concurrently, the law on the community in Brunei has moved from being strict to repressively regressive as gay sex invites a death penalty recently till international pressure forced it to back down. This course will provide an in-depth, comparative analysis of laws related to the LGBTQI community around the world. It will also discuss the way ahead for the Indian LGBTQI community post Section 377.
Certificate Course: Consumer Litigation
Even the best and most reliable of brands often adopt unfair trade practices and restrictive trade practices to cut competition and maximise profits. However, the law provides ample provisions to empower the common man. In this course, you will learn the process of consumer litigation and that it can be done by anyone, not only a lawyer, who is inclined or affected. You will learn drafting of applications, notices, pleas and the processes of litigation in consumer forums.
