GENOCIDE: What Role for International Law?

Summary: Genocide is not only a dark legacy of the past but a threat to the present and future of many societies. How best to respond to genocide, prevent its (re-)occurrence, provide redress for the victims and deal with the legacy of atrocities, and what is the role of international law in all this? While the course is focused on international law, it provides space for a multi-disciplinary approach to genocide. Knowledge of particular fields of international law, e.g human rights, international humanitarian or criminal law is beneficial, but not a prerequisite.
