Course overview

This six-week course provides participants with theoretical and practical skills, and contextualised knowledge of the EMR relating to transversal issues that interact with conflict and peaceful transition. Participants will benefit from a deep and comprehensive vision of the region which will enhance their capacity to offer contextualised and integrative solutions to problematic situations they encounter in their professional activities.

Upon completing the course, participants will:

  • be able to identify key approaches to understanding conflict transitions in the EMR, and understand who are the key actors and cultural, legal and political approaches to peace in the region
  • appraise the importance of socio-cultural and historical contexts in understanding various forms of conflict and peace and contemporary cases
  • understand the local, regional and international dynamics that fuel conflicts and how conflict management has adapted to new conflict dynamics

At the Edinburgh International Justice Initiative (EIJI), we believe that there is still a long way to go before we have a functioning international justice system that ensures protection for all. Therefore, we decided to try to do something about it.

We deliver free research assistance on legal issues and digital evidence investigation and verification for institutions and organisations involved in international justice. By doing this we hope to help strengthen the international justice system as a whole, and hopefully contribute to a world with less impunity. EIJI is split into different research teams, which are each led by students. Every team works with an experienced supervisor to do in-depth legal research on issues important for our clients work.

All of our clients work in international criminal law, international human rights law or other international justice related areas. The teams (usually made up of 4-6 people) work on a project for a defined period of time, usually over a semester. The work often includes involvement in and learning more about jurisprudence of international courts, general research processes, teamwork and report structuring. Team members often have the opportunity to interact with and work along side esteem academics and professionals from around the world.
