Unburden us and them’: Encountering ‘the other’ in meetings between Bosnian genocide survivors and Dutch UN veterans
Recently, the Dutch government granted 'Dutchbat 3' veterans and their partners the opportunity to return to Srebrenica and its surroundings, where they had been located up until the genocide of 1995. An important part of these return trips is dedicated to on-site meetings with women survivors of war and genocide. These encounters are thought to encourage more dialogue, mutual understanding, and an engagement with 'the other's' points of view, wi…
Historical abuse in Dutch Catholic institutions: A qualitative evaluation of victim-survivors’ experiences with redress procedures
This study explores claimants’ experiences with redress procedures addressing historical institutional abuse by Catholic clergy in the Netherlands, examining three areas: complaint and compensation procedures, civil court cases, and mediation. Based on interviews with 18 claimants, findings indicate significant procedural flaws, especially within the Reporting Centre which was frequently described as rigid and impersonal, offering little room for…
Historical abuse in Dutch Catholic institutions: An ex ante evaluation of institutional and non-institutional response procedures
Historical abuse in Dutch Catholic institutions: an ex ante evaluation of institutional and non-institutional response procedures With the disclosure of widespread sexual abuse within the Dutch Roman Catholic Church, victim-survivors demanded justice from Dutch Church authorities and the Dutch state. As conventional approaches, such as criminal and civil law, were deemed to be inept in achieving recognition and repair, new procedures had to be es…
Multi-perspectivity and the risk of perpetration minimisation in Dutch Holocaust and slavery education
The Dutch perpetrated in both the Holocaust and chattel slavery. However, Dutch cultural memory does not significantly recognize Dutch perpetration in these sensitive histories. This article explores the interplay between cultural memory and history education as a potential explanation for this oversight, by specifically focusing on the implementation of multi-perspectivity. In Dutch history education, multi-perspectivity is valued, yet scholars …
The Netherlands-Indies; Rethinking post-colonial recognition from a multi-voiced perspective
In the communication of pain, language matters. Telling someone to feel pain is not just a description of one’s pain, it is – as philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein informs us – also asking for recognition of that pain. This requires a shared language which communicates it. Do we need a new language which can communicate and recognize the pain of the colonial past more effectively? Commencing with the recent apology for waging “a colonial war” in Ind…
Colonial History at Court: Legal Decisions and Their Social Dilemmas
What is Meant by ‘Repair’ when Claiming Reparations for Colonial Wrongs? Transformative Justice for the Dutch Slavery Past
While Transitional Justice instruments have been implemented in plenty of post-conflict cases, what little knowledge we have about the effects of these measures shows contradictory findings, indicating that they are often ambiguous and disappointing. Consequently the last decade has seen a specific call for a ‘new agenda for practice’ proposing a transition from Transitional Justice to Transformative Justice. It is a request by scholars such as P…
The UN-Sustainable Development Goals going local: Learning from localising human rights
In 2015 the United Nations declared an ambitious programme, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With similar aspirations to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the SDGs claim is to make a difference in terms of justice and sustainability on a global scale. Both UN frameworks speak to the global imagination, but what do they do in (local) practice(s)? Recently the claim was made that human rights are ‘not enough’ (Samuel Moyn)…
Voorbij een nationale geschiedschrijving: De massaexecutie in Rawagede verteld als ‘vervlochten geschiedenis’1
Beyond national history. The Rawagede Massacre told as an entangled history In a historic first, the ruling of a civil court in The Hague in 2011 obliged the Dutch state to take responsibility for a mass execution perpetrated by Dutch military in the West Javanese village of Rawagede in 1947. Sixty-four years after the end of Indonesia’s struggle for independence (1945-1949) some justice has been served. This article explores several of its unint…
Seeking justice for the mass execution in Rawagede/ Probing the concept of ‘entangled history’ in a postcolonial setting
In the Netherlands, the nation’s imperial past is under new scrutiny since a landmark decision of the Civil Court in The Hague in 2011 held the Dutch state responsible for a mass execution perpetrated in 1947, during the Indonesian war of independence (1945–1949). This paper explores some of the historiographical implications of this triumph of law, arguing that it has had the unintended effect of reinforcing the representation of the conflict al…
(Re)Programming Europe: European Capitals of Culture: rethinking the role of culture
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) programme in 2010 as a success story for the cities and member states involved, the European Commission also registered a ‘lack of Europe’ in the programme. This is reflected in the scholarly literature, which has largely focused on the title’s effects on individual cities rather than on its effects on Europe. The starting-point of this article is the demand of the Europea…
Too little, too late’? Compensation and family memory: Negotiating Austria’s Holocaust past
Monetary compensation to victims of historical injustice is a worldwide political and academic theme; however, it is rarely seen in the light of family memory. This article, based on evidence from 90 semi-structured interviews, explores the impact of official policies on individuals and families involved in the reparation procedures set up in the 1990s by the Austrian state for the victims of National Socialism. It focuses on the meaning of the o…
