Navigating the Path to Transitional Justice in Myanmar

The course, that we organize with the New University in Exile Consortium, is distinct in its singular focus on the enduring conflict in Myanmar and the challenges and endeavors to secure justice for the victims from the transitional period (i.e., the partial civilian government during 2011-2021) to post-coup Myanmar (Feb 2021- present). It provides a comprehensive grasp of transitional justice and its implementation, with a specific spotlight on the prosecution process and a case study of Myanmar. This course is crafted to give participants the knowledge and skills to navigate the intricate terrain of transitional justice in Myanmar despite the legal and political hurdles.
