Abstract

La 4ème de couv. indique : "Des faits historiques peuvent-ils, plusieurs décennies après leur survenance, générer une situation préjudiciable au point d'en faire découler une responsabilité juridique spécifique ? Cette étude se situe au carrefour de la justice constitutionnelle et de la justice transitionnelle, entendue comme l'ensemble des mécanismes permettant de rendre la justice à la suite de périodes d'une grande violence, par l'identification des responsabilités, l'octroi de réparations et la manifestation de la vérité. Cette thèse considère la défaillance de la justice rendue consécutivement à une situation de violences extrêmes et souvent massives comme étant susceptible de générer un "préjudice historique". Elle démontre la nécessité de consacrer une responsabilité juridique et juridictionnelle résultant du préjudice historique. Néanmoins, le caractère anormal de ces situations de violence génère des préjudices "extra-ordinaires" qui imposent une réponse dépassant la mise en oeuvre des mécanismes juridiques habituels. La réflexion est donc menée sur la possible existence d'un "dommage constitutionnel" en tant que fondement potentiel de la responsabilité du fait du préjudice historique. Dès lors, cette thèse se veut une réflexion plus générale sur l'impuissance du droit en dehors de ses mécanismes traditionnels et sur la nécessité de dépasser ses limites et de développer de nouveaux moyens permettant d'appréhender une réalité sociale dont il reste encore trop éloigné."

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

"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

How do societies at the national and international level try to overcome historical injustices? What remedies did they develop to do justice to victims of large scale atrocities? And even more important: what have we learned from the implementation of these so-called instruments of transitional justice in practice? Lawyers, socials scientists and historians have published shelves full of books and articles on how to confront the past through international criminal tribunals, truth commissions, financial compensation schemes and other instruments of retributive/punitive and restorative justice. A serious problem continues to be that broad interdisciplinary accounts that include both categories of measures are still hardly available. With this volume a group of international experts in the field endeavors to fill this gap, and even more. By alternating historical overviews with critical assessments this volume does not only offer an extensive introduction to the world of transitional justice, but also food for thought concerning the effectiveness of the remedies it offers to face the past successfully --Back cover

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.

Abstract

A passionately urgent call for all of us to unlearn imperialism and repair the violent world we shareIn this theoretical tour-de-force, renowned scholar Ariella Aïsha Azoulay calls on us to recognize the imperial foundations of knowledge and to refuse its strictures and its many violences. Azoulay argues that the institutions that make our world, from archives and museums to ideas of sovereignty and human rights to history itself, are all dependent on imperial modes of thinking. Imperialism has segmented populations into differentially governed groups, continually emphasized the possibility of progress while it tries to destroy what came before, and voraciously seeks out the new by sealing the past away in dusty archival boxes and the glass vitrines of museums.By practicing what she calls potential history, Azoulay argues that we can still refuse the original imperial violence that shattered communities, lives, and worlds, from native peoples in the Americas at the moment of conquest to the Congo ruled by Belgium's brutal King Léopold II, from dispossessed Palestinians in 1948 to displaced refugees in our own day. In Potential History, Azoulay travels alongside historical companions—an old Palestinian man who refused to leave his village in 1948, an anonymous woman in war-ravaged Berlin, looted objects and documents torn from their worlds and now housed in archives and museums—to chart the ways imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics.Rather than looking for a new future, Azoulay calls upon us to rewind history and unlearn our imperial rights, to continue to refuse imperial violence by making present what was invented as “past” and making the repair of torn worlds the substance of politics.
