LGLS 3620U – Human Rights Mediation

Human rights mediation looks at the way that mediation and alternative dispute resolution can be used in the context of human rights complaints. Students will examine human rights mediation initiatives such as the Canadian Human Rights Commission and ways that mediation is used to divert disputes from the tribunal process. Students are also exposed to the ways that mediation is used in human rights disputes to resolve conflict and to educate parties to rights issues. The student in this course is expected to understand the legal framework of human rights and will demonstrate an ability to create win-win solutions to typical conflicts in this area.
