Optional subject called Student laboratory of Human Rights follows compulsory subjects Fundamental Rights 1 and Fundamental Rights 2 and Public International Law and it is supposed to provide the students with opportunity for checking and practicing acquired knowledge and skills. The work within the subject is divided in two parallel activities. The first one consists of simulated resolution of current human rights cases, detailed monitoring of decision making of international human rights protection bodies (ECtHR, ACtHR, IACHR, UNHRC, HRC, DESCE, CERD) and practical training of procedural rules of operation of human rights oriented international bodies. The second one consists of resolving current human rights issues arising in the Czech Republic. Partners of Centre for clinical legal education, non-profit organizations (e.g. Human Rights League), participate on this activity.
