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.
