The course consists of a legal clinic in the field of international human rights law. It operates through projects that, within this academic and disciplinary area, are characterized by a social justice mission. During the academic year in question, the clinic will primarily focus on two projects.
The first project stems from an agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) within the framework of the project “Statelessness Legal Clinics: Strengthening Legal Education and Practice on Statelessness.” The project is aimed at the strategic litigation of individual cases before the Court of Rome and will be carried out in cooperation with UNHCR and the legal clinics of the University of Naples Federico II and the University of Turin.
The second project concerns participation in strategic litigation before the European Court of Human Rights on issues related to deprivation of personal liberty, in cooperation with ASGI (Association for Juridical Studies on Immigration).
