Graduate / Personal Statement for The OSCE Academy Application 2018 Programme: Politics and Security [3]
Hello here!
Here is my Personal Statement for OSCE Academy, I am applying for Politics and Security Master Programme. For now I have only 300 words, so It would be great to hear your suggestions to extend it.
Thank you in advance!
"Please explain why you want to study at the OSCE Academy and how this will help you achieve your life goals. Please limit this statement to 600 words."
In first year of study in law department of American University of Central Asia I took required course on constitution law where I at the first time was faced with basic human rights and notion of democracy. I supported my interest in human rights field of law by taking such elective courses as International Humanitarian Law, International Criminal law and many lectures on human rights taught by visiting professors. As a result I chose International Criminal Court - main judicial international body that fights against impunity of criminal who committed horrible crimes as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, as a topic of my senior thesis.
By looking to events of June 2010 in Kyrgyz Republic from the perspective of person who recently read about victims of genocide in Rwanda and Bosnia and war crimes in African countries, I realized that international crimes and violation of human rights did not mean that this could happen only in countries which are thousand kilometers away from Kyrgyzstan and used to have internal conflicts.. Due to destabilized situation in June 2010 my parents' friend's husband was killed in a way to Osh city by participants of the rebel, another victim of those events was brother of employee in my mother's beauty salon. They were ordinary citizens and had nothing to do with all these demonstrations and firefights.
I decided to use my knowledge and abilities in order work on prevention of conflicts, situations that can lead to negative and horrible consequences such I was experienced to see with my own eyes. Study in OSCE Academy will help me to become an expert and to make my own contribution for promotion of peace, democracy and human rights in Central Asia.
