Past decades have witnessed new approaches and tensions in the interplay between international justice, regional approaches and local responses to conflict. International Courts and Tribunals have sought to develop policies and mechanisms to engage with domestic constituencies (e.g. victims) and actors. This Summer School explores these developments, including practice and underlying accountability strategies. The Human Rights and Transitional Justice Summer Schools will deal inter alia with the following themes:rnrnIntroduction to Transitional Justice and relevant approaches of International Criminal Tribunals (complementarity, outreach, legacy) rnRelationship between the ICC and the African UnionrnRegional responses and TJ mechanisms and how they play out in specific contexts (e.g. Guatemala/Colombia/Syria)rnThe role of regional human rights courts in international criminal justicernProspects and limits of regional mechanisms
