Description This course will NOT be streamed in the academic year 2024/25 due to its interactive character.
This course focuses on anti-discrimination law from a European perspective, centered on the relevant anti-discrimination directives of the European Union. Students will also learn about their interrelationship with anti-discrimination law under the European Convention on Human Rights as well as international human rights law protecting special groups from discrimination such as women, children or persons with disabilities. Another focus will lie on the theoretical concepts underlying equality and non-discriminations, the controversies surrounding these concepts, and the conceptual questions raised by contemporary social disputes.
The course will treat the different forms of discrimination (direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and instructions to discriminate as well as related acts such as hate speech or gender-based violence) and will take a closer look at some of the protected grounds like gender, “race”, religion, age, sexual orientation or disability. Thematic focuses will lie on the different regulatory spheres of anti-discrimination law such as employment or access to goods and services, access to justice, welfare, as well as current discussions on diverse topics such as racial profiling, affirmative action or gender quota.
Attention: The course takes place on Mondays from 12h00 to 15h00 (without lunch break).
Objectifs de formation - Students are familiar with the legal framework surrounding equality and non-discrimination in Europe. In particular, they know the equality law of the European Union, both in the Treaties as well as in secondary law directives. They are familiar with the case-law of the European Court of Justice interpreting these legal provisions.
- Furthermore, they are familiar with the (case-)law relating to Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights and have a basic understanding of the Swiss domestic equality law.
- Students are able to apply their legal-doctrinal knowledge to practical situations and to solve legal cases.
- Students are familiar with the theoretical concepts related to equality and non-discriminations, the controversies surrounding these concepts, and the conceptual questions raised by contemporary social disputes. They are able to critically analyse current problems by using these concepts, and to make connections between their theoretical knowledge and the European law, including case-law, on equality and non-discrimination.
