Human rights and the conflict cycle Collection home page Statistics
The discussion on what constitutes security, which developed as a consequence of the end of the Cold War, has shifted the focus from a state-centric approach to security to one concerned more explicitly with the human person. Consequently, attention has increasingly been given to people suffering insecurity within states. In this context, the link between conflict and human rights, either in the form of human rights abuses which cause or fuel conflict or in the form of standards applied in order to end a conflict and during post-conflict rehabilitation, has become increasingly clear.
This volume published by the Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies aims at bridging the divide between the human rights and conflict resolution communities, between scholars and practitioners and between non-governmental organizations and international organizations. The theoretical framework is set with contributions covering: the conflict cycle, human rights and and the conflict cycle, as well as the role of NGOs and International Organizations in mainstreaming human rights into responses to the conflict cycle. These chapters are complemented by case studies on the human rights aspects of conflicts in Northern Ireland and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
