Missing persons and peacebuilding
This article investigates the critical and often overlooked role of families of missing persons in peacebuilding when the hostilities of armed conflict cease. The unresolved fate of missing persons creates ambiguous loss, a state of chronic psychological and social uncertainty that structurally impedes communal recovery and undermines the fragile foundations of peace. While the issue of missing persons is typically framed as a humanitarian and le…
Addressing missing persons arising from armed conflict as a driver of peace
International humanitarian law (IHL) provides the normative foundation for efforts to address the issue of missing persons during and after armed conflict. Whilst IHL does not engage with how parties to an armed conflict may go about restoring peace, there has been speculation that resolving the missing issue, by bringing answers to families about the fate and whereabouts of their missing relatives, can potentially play a role in building peace. …

Does individual and collective remembrance of past violence impede or foster reconciliation? From Argentina to Sri Lanka
While the dominant human rights discourse on transitional justice constitutes a mix of reinforcing aims that seek to “make peace with” a violent past, this article complicates this notion by exploring how affective memories can prevent individuals from envisioning a future for themselves in which their individual and their nation's past is safely left behind. In the context of ongoing debates over whether to remember or forget a country's traumat…

It looks in detail at one approach that the authors have observed in the field. It argues that an approach based on humanitarian objectives which does not look into who is responsible for the disappearance, with proper management of confidential information…
Stigma, Trauma and the Social Forces Shaping Memory Transmission in Argentina
Since the return to democratic rule in Argentina in 1983, competing claims about how the period of political and state violence of the 1970s and 1980s might be collectively remembered by the nation have caused deep political and societal divisions. This paper explores the personal memories of Argentine women from two ideologically-opposed groups—those on the political Left affected by military repression during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship…
Women’s affective memories of trauma and the transmission of emotional knowledge in Argentina
It’s been more than 33 years since the military took power, and still Argentina continues to grapple with how to remember the period of political violence and state terrorism of the 1970s and 1980s. This is not new. Over the last few decades, moral and political claims about how this past should be collectively remembered by the nation have caused deep political and societal divisions. It is impossible to understand fully why such deep ruptures c…
