Info session: Transitional Justice trip in Cambodia

The Center for Human Rights and International Justice and the Bing Overseas Program (BOSP) are co-sponsoring a two-week seminar in Cambodia called "The Khmer Rouge Legacy and Transitional Justice in Cambodia." Our seminar will focus on Cambodia’s experience of civil war, trials, reparations, reconciliation, and coming to terms with the past. We will have guest speakers from the ECCC, the United Nations, relevant NGOs, and young Cambodian human rights lawyers and academics. While in Phnom Penh, we will visit the ECCC, the National Genocide Museum,  the “killing fields”, NGO offices, and other pertinent sites, both for formal meetings and historical tours. We will then spend several days in Siem Reap, a popular destination in northwest Cambodia owing to its proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor, which features the famed Angkor Wat temple, among many other cultural and historical treasures. The seminar will run from June 22 to July 5, 2020. 

Our Center and BOSP are co-hosting an informational session on October 15 for students to learn more about the program.
