War and Peace examines what war is, why wars break out (economic gain; political differences; ideology or ethnicity; unfair distribution of wealth, etc), and the rules that govern war. We investigate the role of departments of the United Nations in conflicts and the consequences of war. And we explore concepts like negotiations, peaceful conflict resolution, armed conflict, interstate wars, genocide, ceasefires, sanctions, the UN Security Council, peacekeeping, the conventions of International Humanitarian Law, war crime investigations, and the consequences of war. It is said that children are hit hardest by war.
