Foreword

The genesis of this course was from having participated in and facilitated numerous human rights trainings formigration officials around the world. Despite the highly compelling origin story of international human rightslaw, some were presented abstractly, failing to inspire personally the officials on which States rely daily to upholdtheir international obligations. Others seemed to stop at the water’s edge, with recitations and often detailedexplanations of the provisions of various treaties, but absent the step into more treacherous waters of applicationwhere individual rights and national sovereignty collide, or of testing interpretive limits against the hard reality ofremote locations, limited communications, and finite human and material resources.
