The aim of the civil liberties course is to familiarise students with the content of the main fundamental rights enshrined in national, European and international texts, as well as the procedural means of ensuring that they are respected.
After a general introduction to fundamental rights, the course will look at the rights and freedoms enshrined in national, European and international instruments (right to life, prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, right to respect for private and family life, right to a healthy environment, etc.) and the procedural means of ensuring that they are respected.
Particular attention will be paid to the Belgian Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The course will alternate between ex cathedra lectures and analyses of case law, which students will be invited to read in advance of each lecture. Where appropriate, current events may also give rise to discussions with the students. In general, the course will leave room for interactivity.
The student's mark will be divided into two parts:
- 5 points for the analysis and presentation of a stop or an instrument ;
- 15 points for the oral examination.
In addition to the slides presented during the oral course, students will have access to the rulings presented during the course and to be read in preparation for the course on the course's Webcampus platform.
