Lecture -- A War over Genocide: Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina Facing/Faking Their Past

Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - 12:00pm

University of Pittsburgh Global Studies Center, Center for Russian and East European Studies

One of the core assumptions underpinning the EU’s operations is that the implementation of the human rights principles is crucial for democratization processes and for coming to terms with the past, in particular in post-conflict settings. However, despite these efforts, nationalism, which opposes the uniform standardization of global rights, still remains the most potent ideology across the globe, in particular in conflict and post-conflict settings.

University of Pittsburgh Global Studies Center

The 28 member states of the European Union have faced considerable challenges of late as hundreds of thousands of migrants flood the land and sea borders to enter Europe. It is clear that the members do not all agree on how to handle the crisis. But the movement of people continues unabated. And with no end in sight to the conflicts that prompt many people to make their way to Europe at any cost, it is likely to continue for some time.
