Human rights, as a set of norms that is applicable to everyone, everywhere, has been described as 'the idea of our time'.
An expert from the University of Pretoria, Prof Christof Heyns, will pose the question in this UP EXPERT LECTURE
SERIES whether the current rapid proliferation of human rights systems especially at a regional level is fostering or
hampering the universal human rights project. The lecture will place the above discussion in the broader context of
whether - depending on one's starting point - human rights are being 'popularised' or 'banalised'.; Menseregte as 'n stel norme wat oral op almal van toepassing is, is al as 'die idee van ons tyd' beskryf. Prof Christof
Heyns, ‘n kundige van die Universiteit van Pretoria, gaan in hierdie UP-EKSPERT LESINGREEKS die vraag stel of die
huidige vinnige uitbreiding van menseregtestelsels op veral die streeksvlak, die universele menseregteprojek aanhelp
of kortwiek. Die lesing plaas bogenoemde bespreking in 'n breër konteks van die vraag of die idee van menseregte
- afhangende van jou vertrekpunt - al hoe meer 'gepopulariseer' of 'gebanaliseer' word.; Ditokelo tsa botho, bjalo ka sete ya ditlwaelophelo tse di lebanego mang le mang kae le kae di hlaloswa bjalo ka 'kgopolo

Heyns, C.H. (Christof H.)
This paper explores the feasibility, role and practical implications of presenting
regional residential masters programmes in Africa. The paper does so by
focusing on three Master’s programmes based in Africa, which attract
students from across the African continent – one in human rights law, one in
the law of trade and investment and one in the economics of trade and
investment. All three programmes are presented by networks of excellence
linking African universities, in some cases also involving outside partners. The
essential features of these programmes are described, as well as some of the
lessons learned from the introduction of these programmes. It is concluded
that such programmes have a significant role to play in Africa, also beyond
the fields of human rights and trade.
