Study Abroad program to The Hague, Netherlands: June 2 - June 14, 2013.
(posted 3-21-2013)
Northern Illinois University's Genocide and Human Rights Institute, in partnership with the NIU Study Abroad Office, the University Honors Program, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Department of Political Science, is launching "Peace, Justice, and the International Courts," in The Hague, Holland at The Hague University. This is a short-term Study Abroad program to be held from Sunday, June 2 through Friday, June 14, 2013.
The deadline to apply is March 27, 2013.
The program is open to undergraduate students and masters students from all fully accredited colleges and universities. Other students (advanced senior high school, continuing education, etc.) are also welcome to participate. Students participating on this program will receive three semester hours of political science credit. Students are able to use financial aid, including grants, loans and scholarships to pay for the program.
The program will be based in The Hague, Netherlands. There will be a side trip to Amsterdam, including tours of the Jewish Museum, the Anne Frank Haus, and the State Museum, as well as tours of The Hague (city), and additional side excursions.
The primary purpose of this program is to provide participants with the opportunity to focus on the implication of mass violence and genocide through an examination of on-going tribunals and matters before the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, both in The Hague. Students will work in small groups on a case study dealing with the massacre at Srebrenica and its legal outcomes as well as write some Advocacy Policy Briefs concerning post-genocide justice and reparations. The program will consist of lectures, interactive sessions with court personnel, jurists and scholars, thus providing real-world and practical training in the field of conflict resolution.
Although the trip is an exceptional academic opportunity for students in any field, those interested in political science, history, criminal justice, international relations, and genocide studies will particularly benefit from exposure to world political issues and develop different approaches to those issues.
Any questions about the program or the application to this program can be directed to the NIU Study Abroad Office at (815) 753-0700 or niuabroad@niu.edu<mailto:niuabroad@niu.edu>. For more information, including the program booklet and syllabi, email program director J.D. Bowers at jbowersi@niu.edu<mailto:jbowersi@niu.edu> or genocide@niu.edu<mailto:genocide@niu.edu>.
