讲座内容简介：
The lecture is on the role and contribution of the International Court of Justice (ICJ or Court) to interpreting and developing international human rights. Over the 70 years of its activity the Court has dealt with important human rights concepts such as ‘elementary considerations of humanity’, ‘obligations erga omnes’, and ‘sacred trust of civilization’, as well as has applied the main human rights treaties to different situations involving serious human rights violations. This lecture puts in perspective the contribution of the Court to human rights law through a critical assessment of its case law.
