POS 4240 - Intl Crim. Justice And Human Rights


3 hours
Post-authoritarian democracies inherit, among other things, a history of extensive human right violations. What is the best way to prosecute such violations? Is this a matter for the world, in the form of an international criminal court, or one best left to a nation? This course will look at what policies would be best: trial, bureaucratic purges, reparations, general amnesty, or commissions of truth and reconciliation. This course will also examine comparatively the strengths and weaknesses of the criminal justice system.
