Throughout decades, the Research Group on Human Rights and Globalization (DERGLO) has developed various prolonged, up-to-date lines of research on different aspects of human rights. These derive from the pioneering studies and research carried out by professor Jesús Ballesteros. Over the past few years, said lines have specifically focused on matters related to International Law, with special attention to the challenges in peace, sustainable development and intergenerational justice. The most recent results include the following funded research projects, as well as a number of important publications and monographies in publishing companies and prestigious science magazines:

This group also constitutes the core of professors responsible for the Master’s Degree in Human Rights, Peace and Sustainable Development, as well as the Doctoral Programme in Sustainability and Peace in the Post-Globalisation Era. The latter’s academics contents are organised from the interrelationships and the indivisibility between Human Rights and the social and political response to global issues such as wars, underdevelopment, indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources, among others. This programme allows students to acquire a scientific research methodology and advanced knowledge to cover these matters with rigour, constituting an innovative and interdisciplinary field of study in constant growth.
