Knowlege is a powerful tool; it has shown that each individual can make a difference. Global Peace, Human Rights, and Justice Studies provides an organized study of the international law of human rights and the ways it can be used by the citizens of the world in pursuit of basic human rights; a study of the causes of domestic and social violence, civil war, and war between nations; and a study of the various methods that have been and are being developed for the non-violent resolution of conflicts at the personal, group, national, and international levels. The program emphasizes the need for justice in the distribution of the world's goods as a condition for a peaceable and sustainable world.
Students and faculty in this all-university, interdisciplinary minor cooperatively study and explore in depth the problems, issues, challenges, and opportunities to prevent war and to make this a just and peaceable society and world.
