Description
The human rights specialisation covers a wide range of traditional and emerging topics, from indigenous and children's rights to issues relating to terrorism, migration and encroachments on privacy. This specialisation enables students to focus on topical human rights issues confronting governments, international bodies, individuals and corporations and allows students to critically engage in and debate these issues.
The specialisation allows graduates from law and non-law disciplines to choose from an extensive range of units covering topics across the domestic and international arenas. It provides in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of the international human rights legal framework, the organisations that promote and protect it and the mechanisms and processes by which it is enforced. Students will also develop high-level skills in interpreting and analysing primary and secondary human rights materials, including treaties, treaty body decisions, domestic jurisprudence and scholarly commentary.
Some of the most highly respected human rights academics in the country as well as highly qualified visiting experts teach in the program. These courses, along with the faculty's support of the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law, have put Monash University at the forefront of the movement to create a human rights law culture in Australia.
This specialisation is particularly relevant for those who wish to pursue a career in human rights law and related work. (e.g. in government, the non-profit sector, corporations, international organisations, development agencies and academe).

Description
The international and comparative law specialisation provides students with an advanced legal knowledge across a broad spectrum of legal issues with international significance. These range across broad issues of public international law, international human rights and humanitarian law, international criminal law and justice, international commercial and comparative law and international trade and finance law. This specialisation suits lawyers whose practice exposes them to any aspect of international or comparative law, whether this be in the commercial, criminal or human rights law areas. It also suits lawyers and non-lawyers who work in, or have an interest in working in non-government organisations (NGOs), government and industry (domestically or internationally), who are interested in the impact of the international legal framework of their work.
The specialisation carries a broad offering of units taught by Monash Law staff with international reputations in their areas, carefully chosen practitioners with considerable expertise and visiting international experts. In this way the international and comparative law specialisation is carefully constructed to provide an outstanding exposure to the theory and practice of international and comparative law.
