Course Description:
INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (IHL) and CRIMES OF WAR will be the focus of this student-centered interdisciplinary advanced seminar.
Despite the pronouncement of the phrase "Never Again" the world continues to witness horrible crimes of war such as the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur. Can international organizations and legal institutions help us end these cycles of violence? This course will serve as an interdisciplinary introduction to international humanitarian law and expose us to the reality of war crimes. Principles of international humanitarian law and the international legal system will be examined. The political context and philosophical issues will also be discussed. The final three weeks will focus on the future of war (and law) in the context of climate change and technological development.
