Exploring peace and justice through Navi Pillay’s work
This edition focuses on the life and work of Navi Pillay, examining how education, professional commitment, and the pursuit of human rights and justice can contribute to more peaceful and inclusive societies. Her experience provides a shared focus through which students can explore these questions from different disciplinary perspectives and relate them to the responsibilities of individuals and institutions.
