Seminar 1 Current Human Rights Problems Thursday 19 Oct. 13.00-14.00. Prepare in groups A-E by reading newspapers and show human rights which are taken up in the press. Show both substantive and institutional or procedural issues. Each group presents briefly.

I am available for discussions/questions on Tuesdays 13-14 in my office, otherwise, make an appointment.

I have photocopied the draft outlines of the two lectures and left them in your room at the NCHR.

Each group has the responsibility to print one copy of "their" cases and make one class set (ca. 25 copies get the number of students from Bente) to be distributed to the class. I suggest that you put them in "your room" at the NCHR. The photocopying is done for me on the accounts of the NCHR, but not the printing.

Thanks for your comments in after class!
