100 and 1 Terms for Human Rights Education

The idea behind this publication is to provide educators and teachers as well as all other interested individuals with the detailed meaning of the terms that we consider of importance in understanding human rights. As it is mainly meant for the use of teachers, the selection of terms - or to use the language of lexicographers, the selection of entries - was based on two parameters. The first parameter is linked to the comprehension of human rights: to provide teachers with the simplest yet most accurate definition of those terms that we consider most representative of human rights today. For a beginner, it is not always easy to understand this vast and complex judicial corpus. In addition to the inherent difficulty of judicial jargon, international human rights law resembles a baroque structure. The second parameter is education. In this glossary, priority has been given to entries linked to education. The goal was to point out the rules that regulate the different aspects of this activity: educational content, the right to education, status of different educational levels, status of teachers, etc.
