Global environmental challenges do not respect national borders. International cooperation and law is therefore crucial to addressing many of the wicked problems currently facing the international community: including for example, climate change and air and water pollution. The International Environmental Law module provides an introduction to the specialised field of public international law which is concerned with addressing such challenges. This module examines the governance and regulatory aspects of international environmental law, as well providing an introduction to the law which has been instrumental to the development of this field. In so doing it also examines key concepts and principles which underpin international environmental law, such as the precautionary principle and sustainable development.

Film as industry plays out against the backdrop of a global economy, and at any given location witnesses high volumes of transnational flows of money, ideas and talent. At the intersections of these transnational flows we can detect influences of stakeholders such as filmmakers, press and media as well as power structures embodied by politicians, governments and corporations. Internet technology development and new digital ‘content platforms’ from smart phones and TVs to tablets and ‘all-in-one entertainment systems’ have changed audiences’ viewing habits drastically and continue to do so. This in turn has influenced how various film industries with national and transnational dimensions have acted and reacted.

This module explores key issues and discourses of a range of distinct film industries since the end of WWII, and investigates their forms and impact from historical, sociocultural and political-economic points of view. Drawing on examples from mainstream film industries and independent cultural film practices from around the world (e.g. North America, Europe, East Asia), this module will introduce you to key themes as well as the latest trends of film finance, production, distribution and dissemination, marketing and publicity, and exhibition. Topics such as crowdfunding, creative labour accumulation and migration, film distribution via digital platforms and international film festival circuit will be discussed.

International human rights law is an essential part of international law. Human rights represent an important legal tool for empowering the most vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals and social groups, as well as promoting social, global and environmental justice, and sustainable development. Human rights, however, still remain severely violated all over the world and require the elaboration of efficient mechanisms for their respect, protection, and fulfillment at national, regional, and international levels.

The module introduces to the most important and topical issues surrounding international human rights law. It addresses problems of normative bases, right-holders, various types of human rights, corresponding territorial and extraterritorial obligations of states and non-state actors, and international and regional mechanisms of human rights protection. It also explores the role of human rights in solving pressing global problems, including social, global and environmental injustice, obstacles to sustainable development, and colonisation.

This module is aimed at laying the foundation for future advanced studies of, or work in, the field of human rights. It is designed for you to understand the pillars of international human rights law; to gain substantial knowledge of key human rights instruments, institutions, and practices; and to acquire a set of specific and transferable skills necessary for your successful career as a lawyer.
