Education for Human Rights in Times of Peace and Conflict

Fernando M Reimers and Connie K Chung

Development, 2010, vol. 53, issue 4, 504-510

Abstract: Fernando M. Reimers and Connie K. Chung discuss how violent conflict relates to education. They argue that the relationship between education and conflict need to be understood through a developmental perspective. Such a perspective would lead to appropriate programming during the evolution of the conflict. A key focus would be on teaching human rights as a way to educate for peace and thus restore peace and governance. They review some current practices in education in situations of violent conflict in order to illustrate how human rights education is an essential component of educating children and youth to resolve conflicts in non-violent ways and to accept a civil order ruled by law.
