ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents an overview of the keyconcepts discussed in this book. This book provides an introduction to the intersection of two complex and developing and compound fields of study and policymaking: human rights and international criminal law; and conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It offers an overview of relevant international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and presented scholarship and debates about human rights and the causes and consequences of conflict, options for conflict prevention and conflict resolution, and options for seeking accountability for past atrocities. The book assists students seeking to work in this hybrid area with these analytic tools, as well as with the study of contemporary situations presenting challenges of protecting human rights while addressing conflict. It presents a range of critical mechanisms and institutions developed as part of efforts to implement human rights and humanitarian law even as conflicts have raged: ad hoc tribunals, transnational mechanisms, hybrid tribunals, and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
