Abstract

The International Summer School Sarajevo (ISSS) project piloted in 2006 with the aim to provide rich educational programme for graduate students and young professionals from South East Europe and Western Europe.

For the last six years the ISSS has attracted almost two hundred young people from Europe, US and Asia. As we look back now, we are proud to see some of our alumni teaching at universities, working for governments of their respective countries or even establishing similar summer programmes abroad. Every year a new generation of students was coming to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina to learn more about different topics, such as rule of law, transitional justice and human rights. We never wanted to have a programme for lawyers or political scientists only, as we have always believed in interdisciplinary approach. As our participants had different backgrounds, so did our lecturers. It was that group of people, composed of professors, NGO activists, politicians, diplomats, aid workers, journalists, historians, which greatly contributed to the quality of the programme. Dozens of them came to teach, some of them were coming back even several times, to transfer their knowledge and skills to our alumni.

Over the years, we have witnessed how ISSS contributed to lives of our alumni. It was not just the fact that some of them decided to purse career in human rights but it was also their dedication to continue raising awareness on violations of human rights and importance of rule of law though their work. Proof to that are articles presented in the third edition of the Journal of Rule of Law, Transitional Justice and Human Rights. Variety of topics selected by authors is indeed inspiring as it ranges from violations of rights of individuals to the rights of group. Some articles look at transitional justice issues through a gender lens by analyzing how women are portrayed in the countries of former Yugoslavia and Romania while others take readers on a journey through legal systems of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus and Macedonia exploring how protective those are when it comes to human rights. Furthermore, some articles look at past events to be able to respond to future reconciliation efforts and at upcoming EU future as a precondition for more successful reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With the third edition of the Journal in front of you, we hope to that you will recognize new generation of voices from the field suggesting alternative and critical approaches to contemporary challenges of transitional justice. Just like its first two editions, the Journal will be open for public as it represents the ISSS’ contribution to global efforts in analyzing, understanding and teaching about rule of law, transitional justice and human rights.
