Abstract

"War devastates the lives of those who are caught up in it. For thousands of years reparations have been used to secure the end of war and alleviate its deleterious consequences. More recently human rights law has established that victims have a right to reparations. Yet in the face of conflicts that last for decades with millions of victims, how feasible it is to deliver reparations? This book drawing from interviews with dozens of victims, ex-combatants, government officials and civil society actors in six post-conflict countries examines the history, theoretical justifications and practical challenges of implementing reparations after war. Importantly it argues that reparation success rests on the struggle of victims against the hegemony of States and unwillingness of other responsible actors to remedy the past. To secure implementation it involves finding a goldilocks zone between victims' rights and societal interests, as well as encouraging those responsible for causing such carnage in war to make amends to those left suffering the consequences. Reparations offer the promise of a better future for victims caught up in war, but just because the guns have silenced, does not mean that the contestation of the legitimacy of war, who is a victim and deserves to benefit from scarce resources has ceased. This book sheds new light on the role of non-state armed groups in making reparations, the role of victim mobilisation, the evolving use of reparations and the political instrumentalization of redress"--

Abstract

Dans les pays dont l'histoire est chargée de guerres et de crimes de guerre allant jusqu'au génocide, ou encore de colonialisme et d'esclavage, les gens sont confrontés au défi et à la tâche de se pencher sur ce Problème. En effet, il s'agit d'un poison pour la cohabitation, avec le risque que les crimes se répètent. Cela vaut pour l'Europe et en particulier pour l'Allemagne, qui a été marquée par deux guerres mondiales, la Shoah, l'expulsion et l'exode en Europe centrale, les Balkans et, plus récemment, la guerre en Ukraine. Mais les pays africains sont également confrontés à une telle tâche. L'histoire de l'Afrique des Grands Lacs est chargée d'un passé non traité, marqué d'injustice et de violence, de guerres civiles et d’autres atrocités. Pour un "traitement" continu de ces fardeaux, des initiatives telles que des formes et des forums de la mémoire sont nécessaires. Les contributions de ce volume - avec un accent particulier sur le Burundi - veulent en montrer les esquisses.

Abstract

"This volume examines Russia's war on Ukraine. Scholars who have lived through the Russian invasion or who have conducted ethnographic research in the region for decades provide timely analysis of a war that will leave a lasting mark on the 21st century. Using the concept of dispossession, this volume showcases some of the novel ways violence operates in this war and the multiple means by which civilians, within the conflict zone and beyond, have become active participants in the war effort. Anthropological perspectives on war provide on-the-ground insight, historically informed analysis, and theoretical engagement to depict the experiences of dispossession by war and the motivations that drive the responses of the dispossessed. Such perspectives humanize the victims even as they depict the very inhumanity of war. Dispossession is geared towards upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and the general reader who seeks to have a deeper understanding of the Russian-Ukrainian war as it continues to impact geopolitics more broadly"--

Abstract

'From Conflict to Modern Slavery' draws on first-hand accounts to consider how conflict can facilitate modern slavery and how a person's vulnerability interacts with overarching structures. The book explores how, with individual agency restricted by conflict coupled with disruption to support networks, migrants can become vulnerable to exploitation.
