Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is, on one hand, to give students the opportunity to become familiar with the international and supranational labour standards, and the international legal documents and Charters protecting fundamental social rights, and on the other hand, to enable them to understand how these rules are applied at the international and national level by the international monitoring bodies and by the international and national courts. Specific learning objectives of the course are to provide students with skills, which will enable them: (1) to handle with ease the multiplicity of legal sources in the fields of labor law and social security. (2) to study and be able to comment on the international case law, and in particular the judgments of the Court of the EU in the field of labor and social law. (3) to examine the impact of international and European legislation and case law on the national legal order, and (4) to prepare scientific papers concerning either the solution of practical legal problems, or the theoretical analysis of a specific topic.
