I am a human rights lawyer who spent over a decade as a lawyer in these very courts, working at the Rwanda Tribunal, the Yugoslavia Tribunal and at the International Criminal Court.

This material is advanced and looks at conflict and how the UN deals with it. Graphic discussions on the methods of warfare will not be discussed, but the general definitions of the types of atrocities will be discussed.

Parents should consider whether their child is emotionally mature enough for that type of material. The discussion will stay mainly focused on the means that the UN uses to mitigate the effects of large scale conflict on the communities they are affecting.
