Course Description:
After an introduction to the theory, three major themes in international law–human rights, international criminal law, and migration/refugee law–are explored from a gender perspective. Gender bias is a multi-layered phenomenon. It is quite common to distinguish three forms of bias in law: first at the level of legal provisions itself, secondly regarding the effects of law in practice due to differences in position of men and women, and thirdly at an institutional or systematic level: invisible obstacles for an impartial application of the law such as sex-stereotypes and dominant gender ideology.
