International Criminal Law and Justice

How does one not respond in the face of mass atrocities and political transitions? From the depths of history to contemporary times, from South Africa to Rwanda, from Argentina to the Arab Spring, this question has sparked significant debate. This subject explores the legal institutions of criminal prosecution and truth commissions in post-conflict situations. Providing case studies of transitions and criminal responsibility, it provides in-depth knowledge of the various models of transitional justice, the paradigms of international criminal law, and role of human rights movements in addressing accountability, memory and justice, peace, and social order.
