Dear John,
In a world where governments, militaries, corporations, arms dealers, media empires, and international institutions, and other powerful leaders, are complicit in genocide, ecocide, famine, mass displacement, and war crimes, legal systems are being twisted to justify violence rather than prevent it. From Gaza to Sudan, Ukraine to Myanmar, constitutions are bent, courts are silenced, and basic rights are crushed. Protest is criminalized. Truth is punished. Impunity is the norm.
Yet law can also be reclaimed—as a tool for peace, justice, and accountability.
That is the focus of our new six-week online course: War, Peace, and the Law.
📅 Begins Monday, August 4
📍 Fully online and flexible, with six modules and three live Zoom sessions
