Special issue on recognition of victims of serious human rights violations
This special issue examines victim recognition in the case of serious human rights violations. Starting from how victimology has addressed the issue of victim recognition, it analyses the importance for victims of recognition and recognitive attitudes in contexts of political crimes and transitional justice.

Localising Memory in Transitional Justice
Dealing with harm after Covid-19
When Rabbits are in Charge of Carrots
Afghanistan constitutes a good example of how the absence of transitional justice measures leads human rights violators of past regimes to remain in positions of power with impunity and to continue to engage in other forms of crimes. In particular, this article focuses on land grabbing as a form of economic-state crime in the country. Relying on data gathered from fieldwork in Kabul in 2013 and 2014, we illustrate that economic crime, which is in…
Gender-Aware and Place-Based Transitional Justice in Guatemala
Place-based approaches to transitional justice, which foreground victim participation, have become increasingly popular in the last decade. The assumption is that these approaches enhance legitimacy, increase the local relevance of interventions, and empower victims. However, the causal mechanisms by which this alleged empowerment takes place, are not usually studied in great detail. This article examines whether altering the opportunity structur…
A tale of two worlds
Socio-legal studies in Belgium represent a diverse patchwork of many topics studied from many angles. This paper first presents a brief historical account of socio-legal studies and their organisation, in the north and south of the country. It has no ambition to give a full overview of socio-legal studies in Belgium, let alone be exhaustive. It merely focuses on the content and features of two topics that have constituted major strands of researc…
Victims and/or perpetrators? Towards an interdisciplinary dialogue on child soldiers
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, thousands of children are acting in different roles in armed groups. Whereas human rights activism and humanitarian imperatives tend to emphasize the image of child soldiers as incapable victims of adults' abusive compulsion, this image does not fully correspond with prevailing pedagogical and jurisprudential discourses, nor does it represent all child soldiers' own perceptions of their role. Moreover, contemporary warfare …
Genocide, Risk and Resilience
This interdisciplinary volume aims to understand the linkages between the origins and aftermaths of genocide. Exploring social dynamics and human behaviour, this collection considers the interplay of
Punishing Perpetrators or Seeking Truth for Victims
The debate on how to deal with the past in Serbia is still ongoing almost twenty years after the end of the armed conflict in the former Yugoslavia. From the very start the international community has put major emphasis on the criminal prosecution and conviction of the persons mostly responsible for the war crimes in the region, both by establishing the ICTY and encouraging national prosecutions. In the discussions about ‘dealing with the past’ i…
Repairing the harm of victims after violent conflict
Almost 20 years after the end of the armed conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the debates on how to deal with the past in Serbia are still ongoing. From the very start the international community has put major emphasis on the criminal prosecution and conviction of the persons mostly responsible for the war crimes in the region, both by establishing the International Criminal Tribunal for ex-Yugoslavia and encouraging national prosecutions. In the…
The Local Relevance of Human Rights
Do human rights offer real protection when disadvantaged groups invoke them at the local level in an attempt to improve their living conditions? If so, how can we make sure that the experiences of those invoking human rights at the local level have an impact on the further development of human rights (at national and other levels) so that the local relevance of human rights increases? Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Right…
How to Repair the Harm after Violent Conflict in Bosnia? Results of a Population-Based Survey
Debates about serious human rights violations and international crimes committed in the past usually start during times of political transition, that is when societies are moving away from a non-democratic regime and the new political elites are confronted with the fundamental question on how to address the heavy burden of their dark past. This question was posed in most countries of Latin America in the 1980s, in all countries of Central and Eas…
The International Criminal Court and its Trust Fund are Coming of Age
The last decade has witnessed a rapid development in the field of reparation for victims of serious human rights violations, both at the national and the international level. Both in (post-)conflict situations and in situations of large-scale human rights abuses it has become a major question of transitional justice how to repair the harm inflicted on victims through acts of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other forms of injust…
Crime and Human Rights
Mark Drumbl, Atrocity, Punishment and International Law
The last decades of the previous century will definitely be remembered for their astounding numbers of gross and massive human rights violations, as a direct result of severe and violent conflict: the killing fields in Cambodia, the genocides in Guatemala and Rwanda, ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, the ethno-religious conflicts in East Timor, the attacks and counter-attacks between Israelis and Palestinians, and the long-lasting aparth…
Interview with Mr. Luzius Wildhaber, President of the ECHR
The Role of the Legal Profession in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission
In situations of a transition to democracy, the legal profession tends to have a strong impact. While this is quite clear in the case when criminal prosecutions are initiated against perpetrators of gross human rights violations, and when amnesty provisions are enacted for some violations, it is far less obvious in cases when a truth commission is set up. The current article looks into the role that the legal profession, i.e. the judiciary, the b…
