Learn 2024

This 'course' will be specifically for the tutors who have been selected to facilitate the tutorials for the CSJ module in the first AND second semester of 2024.

What will be uploaded on this course site is all the information, resources, and extra academic readings, that tutors will need in their facilitation.

I am honoured to be training these tutors and serving as their mentor for the duration of the year ahead.

Dr Toni D'amant

This course falls into the field of Conflict Transformation and Peace Studies. It will consist of 10 weekly three-hour seminars on Fridays at 10h30 and additional self-study time of about 3-4 hours per week to prepare for seminars and write essays. The readings will be given to you as a reading list and downloads in electronic format will be supplied.  You are required to do all the readings in preparation for every seminar.

This module seeks to provide an overview of the field of human rights and international humanitarian law (IHL). It seeks to increase knowledge and awareness of IHL among the students, enabling them to work in environments where it is relevant.

It deals with the origins, purpose, sources, principles and development of IHL and it application and effects on armed conflicts; uses appropriate case studies to assess the role of international criminal law, the congruence between human rights and humanitarian law, gender and law, and the protection of vulnerable groups such as children.
