Description: This course focuses on the interaction of courts – domestic and international and the two-level politics that entails how domestic and international institutions deal with human rights law. Throughout the world, courts and official actors have been negotiating, resisting and backlashing not only human rights law but also each other’s decisions and this material reveals some of this resistance. Courts have been acting as “Gatekeepers” either facilitating or jeopardizing the implementation of human rights law and policies. The seminar will focus on the dialogue between domestic courts and the following human rights systems: European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights and African Court of Human Rights. In some regions of the world, where states have not accepted the jurisdiction of an international court, other examples on the interactions between state-level-courts and federal courts are offered. The first part of this seminar will expose some theoretical grounds on how courts – either domestic or international, or both – act as gatekeepers. This initial part utilizes theories of International Relations, Sociology and Socio-legal studies to explain these two-level interaction games between courts. The second part will examine a set of different human rights issues in which domestic courts act as gatekeepers resisting or renegotiating human rights decisions from international courts. The list of rights analyzed in this section is not comprehensive, but will provide a broader understanding of some of the key issues concerning the two-level politics of human rights. The selected themes focus indifferent regions of the world, and include the debate of core human rights issues, such as civil and political rights; economic and social rights; self-determination and indigenous rights, right to equality and non-discrimination; among others.
