This book assesses the role of human rights education (HRE) in the
peacebuilding field. Today, most governments, international
organisations and non-governmental organisations recognise the
importance of human rights in peace- and democracy-building
activities in post-conflict regions. However, compared with other
components of peacebuilding, little attention and funding have been
given to the cultivation of human rights knowledge and skills
within these populations. Almost nothing has been committed to
understanding how HRE is best accomplished in such difficult
circumstances. Human Rights Education and Peacebuilding
demonstrates the promise of HRE programs to help bring about peace
within challenging post-conflict contexts. Each chapter of this
book (a) identifies the short and medium term impacts of seven
different HRE programs on their respective target groups, and (b)
provides an analysis of the peculiar local contextual factors that
influenced each program's rationale for human rights education.
More specifically, each chapter addresses these critical questions:
- How are communities around the world using HRE to help rebuild
their lives in the aftermath of an armed conflict? - How does HRE
respond local problems and needs? How similar are the human rights
impacts in the different projects? - How can we understand the
promise and challenges associated with HRE as a component of
community peace-building? This book will be of much interest to
students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, human rights,
education studies and IR in general.
