About this badge
Analyze the legal and sociopolitical questions arising from the systematic violations of human rights within the context of postconflict reconciliation in Latin America and Africa, and examine how such issues relate to the practice of transitional justice. Topics include models of redress, conflict resolution mechanisms and methods of peace building, and comparative analysis of government strategies to build democracy and the rule of law. Additional analysis focuses on local and international responses to conflict, including the role of the United Nations, international courts and truth commissions, amnesties, reparations, institutional reforms, and reconciliation programs.
