SOC 242 - Human Rights and Transitional Justice

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
This course will explore the development of international law in relation to violations of human rights from the signing of the Hague and Geneva conventions to the present. The course will explore what approaches have been tried, the advantages and drawbacks of each, and the recurring dilemma faced by transitional regimes of whether to “trade justice for truth.” The principal examples will be: the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo; the investigative commissions appointed by South Africa, Argentina and Chile; the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda; and the ongoing debate over the founding of the International Criminal Court.
