Confronting Past Human Rights Violations: Cass Series on Peacekeeping

Autor Chandra Lekha Sriram
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2006
This book examines what makes accountability for previous violations more or less possible for transitional regimes to achieve. It closely examines the other vital goals of such regimes against which accountability is often balanced. The options available are not simply prosecution or pardon, as the most heated polemics of the debate over transitional justice suggest, but a range of options from complete amnesty through truth commissions and lustration or purification to prosecutions. The question, then, is not whether or not accountability can be achieved, but what degree of accountability can be achieved by a given country.
The focus of the book is on the politics of transition: what makes accountability more or less feasible and what strategies are deployed by regimes to achieve greater accountability (or alternatively, greater reform). The result is a more nuanced understanding of the different conditions and possibilities that countries face, and the lesson that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription that can be handed to transitional regimes.

Recenzii

'The book is well written and the author does not go farther in her conclusion than her material warrants. It is a well-documented study that should be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about what happens after the fall of a dictatorial regime.' - Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights
