Course on Genocide, Conflict and Human Rights
DC-Cam takes an important, continual step toward a broader genocide awareness, human rights protection and conflict management. These topics are inextricably linked and show no sign of dissipation. Time and again, human lives are haunted and placed under a harsh condition under which their basic rights to life is being stripped of. Evidently, Cambodia itself went through the darkest chapter of its history in which the communist Khmer Rouge’s nearly-four-year rule left approximately two million people dead. For the time being, transnational border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has posed a great challenge to human security for many decades.
DC-Cam’s Online Study Program on Genocide, Conflict and Human Rights is designed to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge about genocide, conflict and human rights, to develop and transform their critical thinking into constructive platforms to address the root causes of genocide, conflict and other forms of human rights violations and to enunciate national policy and institutional reform. We aim for a group of students for this course which will equip them with research methods and design, mass atrocity crimes, transitional justice mechanisms, peace & humanitarian work, and survivors’ stories and also outdoor activities. The first part of the program is more about theory, while the second part about practice.”
