Abstract

Een burgeroorlog, een brutale repressie, apartheid: dat sterft nooit helemaal. De onbeantwoorde vragen en het verdriet die zij verwekken schuilen in het hoofd van wie het meemaakte. Ze zitten als fantoompijn in het lijf van wie nadien kwam, hun kinderen en hun kindskinderen. Luc Huyse beschrijft hoe mensen, van Afghanistan tot Zimbabwe, afrekenen met zeer dat niet voorbij wil gaan. Hij observeert in Ethiopië het proces tegen dictator Mengistu, luistert in ex-Joegoslavië naar overlevenden van een massamoord, ziet in Spanje hoe Franco opnieuw begraven wordt, praat in Zuid-Afrika met leden van de waarheidscommissie, zoekt uit waaraan de dwaze moeders en grootmoeders van de Plaza de Mayo hun succes te danken hebben. Het verleden temmen, daar gaat het steeds weer om. En, als het kan, rust brengen in het hart van wie vandaag en morgen leeft. Maar wat voorbij lijkt, wijkt niet. Dit boek leest ook als het relaas van een persoonlijke expeditie in onbekend gebied. In de loop van deze tocht krijgt de auteur compagnie van vele personages. Zij tonen hoe de confrontatie met de erfenis van een oorlog of een repressief regime kan ontsporen. En wekken de vragen waar het om gaat. Wanneer brengt het georganiseerde opslaan van de herinnering, het werk van waarheidscommissies, voor de slachtoffers meer heling dan pijn? Loopt vergeven en vergeten, amnestie dus, gegarandeerd verkeerd af? Waarom zit de inzet van tribunalen, de weg van de vergelding voor geleden leed, vol risico's? Is er in die materie überhaupt een beste koop? (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

Human rights prosecutions are the most prominent mechanisms that victims demand to obtain accountability. Dealing with a legacy of gross human rights violations presents opportunities to enhance the right to justice and promote a more equal application of criminal law, a fundamental condition for a more substantive democracy in societies. This book seeks to analyse the impact, advances, and difficulties of prosecuting perpetrators of mass atrocities at national and international levels. What role does criminal justice play in redressing victims' wrongs, guaranteeing the non-repetition of mass atrocities, and attempting to overcome the damage caused by systematic human rights violations? This volume addresses critical issues in the field of human rights prosecution by drawing on the experiences of a variety of post-conflict and authoritarian countries covering three world regions. Contributing authors cover prosecutions in post-Nazi Germany, post-Communist Romania, and transnational legal complaints by victims of the Franco dictatorship, as well as domestic and third-country prosecutions for human rights violations in the pioneering South American countries of Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, prosecutions in Darfur and Kenya, and the work of the International Criminal Court. The Impact of Human Rights Prosecutions offers insights into the difficulties human rights trials face in different contexts and regions, and also illustrates the development of these legal procedures over time. The volume will be of interest to human rights scholars as well as legal practitioners, participants, justice system actors, and policy makers.
