HGST 334: Transitional Justice

Holocaust & Genocide Studies · 5 credits

This course examines different approaches taken by countries and the international community in dealing with gross violations of human rights (civil and political). It also explores the processes by which formerly repressive States transform themselves into societies based on democracy and the rule of law. It examines the various means of establishing accountability including truth, reconciliation, and historical commissions; national, international and hybrid prosecutions of perpetrators of human rights abuse; reparation for victims of human rights and humanitarian law violations; ''lustration'' laws and institutional reforms. It also considers the obstacles to these processes including political instability, amnesty laws, and the lack of engagement by the international community. The course will explore the possibility of accountability processes for gross violations of economic, social, and cultural rights. Also offered as FAIR 334B.

Offered in 3 of the 26 listed terms (Spring 2021 to Spring 2025).
