Description
Human rights advocates and conflict resolution practitioners both aim to build peaceable societies based on mutual respect and the rule of law. Rights advocates typically push the justice agenda while conflict resolution practitioners strive for transformation often without utilizing human rights norms and institutions as a basis for stability. This course systematically evaluates the tensions and parallels between the two fields, examining some of the ways in which human rights and conflict resolution scholars and practitioners can interact in their approaches. Basic human rights concepts are introduced and case studies are used in an exploration of the issues.
