Centre on Conflict, Rights and Justice (CCRJ)

Description

The Centre on Conflict, Rights and Justice (CCRJ) was established in 2010 in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). The centre promotes individual and collaborative research on the international politics of human rights and transitional justice, humanitarianism and aid, religion and politics, and civil liberties especially as they relate to conflict and post-conflict situations.

The centre pursues research that investigates efforts to construct international norms, policies, and institutions for governing conflict and post-conflict situations. The Centre also facilitates research designed to evaluate the effects of these practices on a range of political outcomes and especially the for the future of international peace and security.

The centre provides a forum for encouraging research driven engagement between and among scholars, practitioners, advocates, and research students in these areas. The centre welcomes interdisciplinary perspectives, but seeks to contribute especially to the study of international relations and comparative politics.
