The Rule of Law and European Values in the Modern Ages:
Frozen Conflicts in Europe and Transitional Justice (3rd edition)
The School of Law of UCLan Cyprus is pleased to announce the in-person intensive course on “Frozen Conflicts in Europe and Transitional Justice”.
Against the background formed by the prevalence of terrorism, the ongoing conflicts in the Greater Middle East, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, other ongoing or frozen conflicts, human trafficking, people smuggling, illicit financial activities and multiple other threats to the rule of law in modern Europe, this 10-hour course considers the rationale behind, legal basis and practical consequences of the responses to these illicit activities at the national, regional, pan-European and global levels. In addition, the course seeks to familiarise participants with the rule of law and other key concepts in regular use within or beyond the relevant literature.
