• Conversations: The African Union Court on Human and People's Rights

  September 17, 2020, 12 p.m.-1:15 p.m. EDT

  Virtual event via Zoom

  Can the African Union Court on Human and People's Rights protect Human Rights for Africans? International courts, including the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, are considered by some African governments to be instruments of neo-colonialism. Instead of supporting the ICC, some experts feel it would be best for African Union member states to focus on further establishing the African Court on Human and People's Rights. Formed in 1998, the court is a tribunal meant to protect African rights across the continent. Sadly the dream of justice within the continent risks falling apart as member states neglect the courts. Guest speaker Aaron Mwewa, a proud pan Africanist, is a graduate of the Public Diplomacy Program of Syracuse University and a 2015 Washington Mandela Fellow. He is a lecturer and researcher of Political Science at the University of Lusaka in Zambia. To join, copy and paste this url in your browser: tinyurl.com/parccZoom Sponsored by PARCC.

How does it impact the way in which you deal with conflict? Understanding the various conflict styles can help bridge understanding in how you and others react to conflict. Also learn a powerful tool that can help deal with emotions associated with interpersonal conflict- reflective listening. Reflective Listening helps address these high emotions in order to allow 'room' to address the conflict. Add these two 'tools' to your conflict management toolbox in an interactive, participatory workshop format. p.m.-3 p.m.: Train the Trainer: First Year Forum. This session will train interested volunteers who attended the morning session to become CMC Associates and prepare them for leading future training sessions throughout the academic year, including SU's First Year Forum (FYF).
