- The course offers a theoretical and practical reflection on human rights, which probes its historical and conceptual origin and ponders some application problems. Furthermore, it develops a reflection on the historical-philosophical foundations of constitutionalism as a doctrine intrinsically connected to the protection of fundamental rights.
