The Morality of Colonialism as Enduring Occupation and Dispossession

Description: Under international law, there is no statute of limitations on war crimes or crimes against humanity.

The quest is for students to research colonization, occupation, and apply critical thinking skills to the morality of maintaining such a dispossession today.
