  • Varieties of German Guilt and Their Consequences: The Question of German Guilt, Karl Jaspers

    Aryeh NeierARTICLESocial research2022

    Karl Jaspers considers four varieties of guilt—criminal, moral, metaphysical, and political—and whether Germans are collectively or individually guilty for the crimes of the Nazis. What influence did Jasper's thinking about guilt have on his former pupil Hannah Arendt? What was the impact of such thinking on the political development of Germany in the period after World War II and up to contemporary times

  • Sanctions and Human Rights

    Aryeh NeierARTICLESocial research2015

    Economic sanctions have been effective in a number of cases in which they have been imposed solely for the purpose of promoting human rights and they have been sustained for substantial periods and modified from time to time to reflect changes in the human rights situation in the target countries. The essay cites Myanmar, South Africa and Poland as countries in which sanctions met these criteria. It also cites Cuba and China as targets of sanctio…

  • What We Have Learned about Limiting Knowledge in a Democracy

    Peter Galison, Victor S Navasky et al.ARTICLESocial research2010Cited by: 1

    The topic of this session is "What We Have Learned about Limiting Knowledge in a Democracy," and it says we should discuss "how should we proceed and where should lines be drawn?" I'm going to conduct a conversation in which I will focus on this question of limits. The panel is very distinguished, very diverse, and I think we ought to be able to anticipate a diversity of views. All of our speakers are people who promote freedom of information, bu…

    Aryeh Neier America’s New Nationalism I START WITH A DEFINITION OF TERRORISM: IT IS VIOLENCE AGAINST those with whom one does not necessarily have a quarrel in order to make a political point.

  • Introductory Remarks: Panel Discussion/Remarks

    Theodor Meron, Richard J Goldstone et al.ARTICLESocial research2002

    THESE are difficult days for international humanitarian law— indeed, for international law in its broader sense. The principal reason for this state of affairs lies not only in the technicalities or the fine points of international law. We have also witnessed a decline of human and humanitarian values. This decline of values has, in turn, led to an erosion of humanitarian principles. International humanitarian law works relatively well when the c…

  • Bringing War Criminals to Justice: A Brief History

    Aryeh NeierARTICLESocial research2002

    IWOULD like in this essay to sum up how we got to where we are now on the question of international justice. As Kenneth Roth indicates in his introduction, it has essentially been during the 1990s that we have tried to hold those responsible for war crimes actually accountable for their acts. Very little was done before that, subsequent to the international tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo. There were some earlier efforts, however, the most signi…

  • Human Rights in the Reagan Era: Acceptance in Principle

    Open AccessAryeh NeierARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1989Cited by: 1

    Over eight years, the Reagan administration's policy on human rights shifted dramatically. At the outset, some in the administration repudiated promoting human rights internationally as a foreign policy goal of the United States; others argued that the United States should condemn abuses by hostile totalitarian governments but not by friendly authoritarian governments. By the time the Reagan administration left office, it accepted that promoting …
