Abstract

Cet ouvrage présente une réflexion sur le processus dit de justice transitionnelle, c'est-à-dire sur la reconstruction des mécanismes de justice telle qu'entreprise au Burundi depuis la fin des violences fratricides qui ont déchiré le pays depuis plusieurs décennies et du conflit armé qui les a suivies. Il présente tout d'abord le travail mené au Burundi par l'association RCN Justice & Démocratie, basée à Bruxelles et active notamment dans la région des grands lacs africains. Cette ONG a voulu libérer la parole des habitants du pays au moyen de groupes de discussion menés suite à une représentation théâtrale itinérante visant à susciter le dialogue sur le fait de devoir (re)vivre ensemble après la guerre civile. L'ouvrage réunit ensuite les contributions présentées à l'occasion du colloque organisé le 28 mars 2012 à Bujumbura, pour confronter la parole ainsi recueillie auprès de la population burundaise aux avis d'experts burundais et internationaux. Le résultat, parfois surprenant mais toujours passionnant, souligne l'existence discrète mais vivace de dimensions informelles de la justice transitionnelle telle que mise en place dans les collines, loin des retards et des négociations politiques qui caractérisent le processus formel engagé sous l'égide des Nations unies et qui peine à produire des résultats. Une lecture plurielle de la justice réparatrice dans un État sortant d'un conflit, et l'émergence possible d'un modèle burundais qui gagnerait à être plus largement diffusé. L'ouvrage est accompagné d'un DVD restituant les débats échangés lors du colloque.

Abstract

"À l'initiative de l'association "Décoloniser les arts", Leila Cukierman, Gerty Dambury et Françoise Vergès analysent, avec quinze artistes, la colonialité à l'œuvre dans le monde des arts et de la culture en France et proposent des pistes pour une décolonisation des formations, des institutions et des contenus."Décolonisons les arts !", vaste et passionnant objectif, est une invitation à ouvrir le regard et à prêter l'oreille à la transversalité des récits, un appel à se rassembler pour transformer le champ culturel et artistique où la décolonisation vise à l'émancipation créatrice et à une nécessaire et urgente transformation du monde."

Abstract

"What lessons can we learn from history, and more importantly: how? This question is as commonplace as it is essential. Efficient transitional justice policy evaluation requires, inter alia, an historical dimension. What policy has or has not worked in the past is an obvious key question. Nevertheless, history as a profession remains somewhat absent in the multi-disciplinary field of transitional justice. The idea that we should learn lessons from history continues to create unease among most professional historians. In his critical introduction, the editor investigates the framework of this unease. At the core of this book are nine national European case studies (post 1945, the 1970s dictatorships, post 1989) which implement the true scholarly advantage of historical research for the field of transitional justice: the broad temporal space. All nine case studies tackle the longer-term impact of their country's transitional justice policies. Two comparative conclusions, amongst others by the internationally renowned transitional justice specialist Luc Huyse, complete this collection. This volume is a major contribution in the search for synergies between the agenda of historical research and the rapidly developing field of transitional justice"-- Back cover.

Abstract

Based on case studies spanning time and geography from the Spanish to the Nigerian civil wars, to government repression in Argentina, genocidal policies in Guatemala and Rwanda and on to forced population removal in Australia and Israel, this collection represents a focused attempt to come to grips with some of the strategies used to express traumatic memory work. Together, the essays constitute a kaleidoscope of new approaches to show how such performances of memory contribute to transitional justice efforts, demonstrating the complexities of striving for justice and reconciliation through the public expression of shared memories of violence.

Abstract

"A number of Western states and institutions have sought to come to terms with their relationships to non-Western states and peoples. Powerful actors and institutions are apologizing to the relatively powerless. What do these apologies mean? Are they an indication of a new international order, either politically or as they relate to international law? Or are these apologies fleeting and insignificant? In The Age of Apology twenty-two law, politics, and human rights scholars explore the legal, political, social, historical, moral, religious, and anthropological aspects of Western apologies in an attempt to answer these questions. Conversely, a nonapology might be as important to study, and several chapters discuss the absence or refusal of apology and how this might be interpreted."--Publisher description. "In a turnabout of the cynical belief that might makes right, nations now see fit to issue apologies to peoples and countries they have wronged. We live in an age that seeks to establish political truth, perhaps best exemplified by the creation of truth commissions in societies seeking to emerge from dictatorial pasts. The most noteworthy result of these efforts has been the near-universal realization that a society will not be able successfully to pass into the future until it somehow deals with the horrors of its past.

Abstract

States that are in transition after a violent conflict or an authoritarian past face daunting challenges in (re)establishing the rule of law. This volume examines in detail attempts that were made in certain significant post-conflict or post-authoritarian situations to strengthen the domestic rule of law with the aid of international law. Attention is paid in particular to the empowerment of domestic courts in such situations. International law may serve these courts as a tool for reconciling the demands for new rights and responsibilities with due process and other rule of law requirements. The volume contains case studies of the role of domestic courts in various post-conflict and transitional situations (Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nepal, East Timor, Russia, South Africa, and Rwanda). Each of these case studies seeks to answer questions relating to the exact constitutional moment empowering domestic courts to apply international law, the range of international legal norms that are applied, the involvement of international actors in bringing about change, the contextualization of international legal norms in states in transition, tension within such states as a result of the application of international law, and the legacy of domestic courts' empowerment in terms of durable rule of law entrenchment.
