NIU Abroad: Peace, Justice & International Courts

This study abroad program is coordinated by the Northern Illinois University Study Abroad Office (SAO) and the University Honors Program, in cooperation with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Departments of Political Science and Sociology. It is conducted in partnership with the De Haagse Hogeschool (The Hague University of Applied Sciences) in the Netherlands.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW: From the end of the nineteenth century to the present, genocides have been some of the most notorious events in world history. These atrocities disturb virtually all states and peoples and, notably, have repercussions that transcend the immediate violations of life and which play out through the decades and centuries that follow.
