POLT 244 - Politics Transitional Justice


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

How do states and societies deal with the legacies of mass human rights violations’ Transitional justice refers to the judicial and non-judicial measures used to redress these violations, including international criminal tribunals, truth commissions, reparations, and the construction of collective memory. Through cases from Latin America, Africa and Europe, we explore the theoretical and practical dilemmas transitional justice presents in post-conflict societies; we also explore how international norms and domestic practices have interacted to shape contemporary debates over the principle of universal jurisdiction and the responsibility to protect. Prerequisite: One course in Politics (highly recommended: POLT 120)
Enrollment Limit: 30
Instructor: K. Mani
