Course Title:
No Peace Without Justice
Course Number:
IA 213
Course Description:
This course aims to improve understanding of the relationship between peace, justice, and human rights from an international perspective by addressing the international community's legal obstacles and ethical dilemmas in pursuing these different but reciprocally connected goals. It addresses the maintenance of peace and security both between and within states, the fight against impunity for international crimes such as genocide and war crimes, the protection of human rights such as the right to life, the right not to be tortured, and the right to personal freedom in the context of different types of conflicts (including the “war on terror”). Specific issues explored during the course include the extraterritorial jurisdiction of states, international criminal tribunals, immunities from jurisdiction, different approaches to the fight against terrorism, and different models of post-conflict transitional justice.
