Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Transitional Justice is understood as the set of legal and extralegal measures that different societies adopt - at the time of redemocratization - to face the legacy of massive violations of human rights during, for example, civil wars, dictatorial regimes and genocides. The course will mainly deal with: the typology of crimes (war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide), International Courts, Truth Commissions, Universal Justice, Impunity and Amnesty, Politics of Memory and Reparation. Some emblematic case studies will be analyzed: Judgments of Nuremberg, Rwanda, Ex Yugoslavia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru and Colombia among others. A recent complaint in Vienna against officials of the Assad Regime will also be examined as a path for universal jurisdiction in Austria for crimes against humanity committed abroad.
