Metaconflict and international human rights law in dealing with Northern Ireland's past
In many post-conflict societies, political actors battle to ensure the dominancy of their preferred narratives regarding the causes of and responsibilities for past violence. They wage these conflicts about the conflict to instrumentalise narratives of the past to serve their contemporary political aims, but in doing so, they contribute to the endurance of societal divisions which can have destructive effects on the promotion of reconciliation an…
Databases of Transitional Justice Mechanisms and Contexts
1 Over the past decade, scholars researching the causes, forms and impacts of transitional justice (TJ) mechanisms have increasingly turned to cross-national databases to document cases, facilitate comparisons and develop causal analyses. Such research has been heralded as having the potential to address significant knowledge gaps in the field. However, to date, database research has produced patchy and contradictory findings. To interrogate why …
The End of Amnesty or Regional Overreach? Interpreting the Erosion of South America’s Amnesty Laws
The atrocious abuses committed under South America's dictators resulted in a wave of amnesties. Following transitions to democracy, challenges from victims and civil society unpicked several of these amnesties, leading to hundreds of perpetrators facing prosecution. These developments prompted far-reaching claims in academic literature and policy reports regarding the significance of the erosion of South America's amnesties for shaping internatio…
Amnesties in Transition
Despite the much vaunted triumph of human rights, amnesties continue to be a frequently used technique of post‐conflict transitional justice. For many critics, they are synonymous with unaccountability and injustice. This article argues that despite the rhetoric, there is no universal duty to prosecute under international law and that issues of selectivity and proportionality present serious challenges to the retributive rationale for punishment …
Rethinking amnesties
The notion of accountability that is propagated in transitional justice often appears limited to demands for the prosecution and imprisonment of those who have been involved in serious human rights violations. Amnesties, widely understood as the absence of punishment for wrongdoing, are in turn considered by many scholars and activists as an example par excellence of the kind of Faustian pacts which are made in the name of political expediency in…
Law, Politics and Fact-Finding
Investigating, collating, corroborating, and publicizing information on human rights violations is central to the work of many national and international human rights organizations. This work can be conducted through several formats, most notably, the production of human rights reports.1 Indeed, for some human rights organizations (HROs), producing such publications may be their raison d'être, where ‘the report is not a method, but the whole obje…
Can Amnesties and International Justice be Reconciled
When states are attempting to recover from periods of serious human rights abuse, they often must try to reconcile the competing demands of different stakeholders. These demands may range from claims that complete impunity is a necessary sacrifice to achieve peace, to the belief that without justice no meaningful peace can be reached. This paper will attempt to highlight the ways in which international courts and quasi-judicial bodies address the…
