Dealing with the Past Advanced Course

Finding a way to deal with a violent past, such as armed conflict, an authoritarian regime or occupation, as well as the legacy of a colonial rule, is argued to be the basis for lasting peace, democracy and rule of law. International norms and legal frameworks support national and local actors involved in dealing with the past processes (also called transitional justice) in the design of mechanisms and institutions, such as truth commissions, tribunals, or memorialization efforts.

learn about transformative approaches to dealing with the past;
discuss the particular challenges and needs when dealing with the search for disappeared and missing persons;
reflect on the role of family, victims’ and survivors’ associations and the importance of psychosocial support;
explore “new” topics, such as Dealing with the Past in contexts with colonial legacy, as well as the fight against corruption and asset recovery in Dealing with the Past processes;
apply your learnings in an interactive role play, and apply the main concepts and approaches to your “own” context;
