Une drôle de justice : Les magistrats dans la guerre d'algerie - Thénault, Sylvie (La Découverte, 2001)
De 1954 à 1962, au nom de la lutte contre la " subversion " du FLN, au nom du rattachement de l'Algérie à la France qui interdisait d'y appliquer le droit de la guerre et de considérer les nationalistes comme des combattants, la justice et son personnel prirent une part active à la guerre d'Algérie : instruction des affaires, condamnations par milliers infligées par les tribunaux correctionnels et militaires, rappel de magistrats sous les drapeaux, etc. Les seules condamnations à mort atteignirent les 1 500, dont près de 200 furent exécutées. Dans ce livre passionnant et très documenté, Sylvie Thénault montre que cette insertion de la justice dans un vaste système de répression la priva de fait de son droit de regard sur les arrestations, les gardes à vue, les détentions et les interrogatoires pratiqués par l'armée. S'appuyant sur des archives jusque-là inaccessibles de l'Armée de terre - instructions, directives, fiches de renseignements, etc. - et du ministère de la justice, notamment la correspondance entre les procureurs généraux d'Algérie et la Chancellerie parisienne, elle met au jour une justice amputée et réformée par les législations d'exception. Une " drôle de justice ", à l'image de la " drôle de guerre ", cette guerre qui n'en était pas vraiment une. Il est temps, aujourd'hui, que ce passé proche entre dans l'Histoire. Pour les magistrats qui l'ont vécue, appelés à jouer un rôle inédit, confrontés au partage de compétence avec la justice militaire et à la torture, la période reste douloureuse. C'est pour l'aborder sereinement, sans juger ni céder aux injonctions d'un " devoir de mémoire " culpabilisant, que l'auteur a écrit ce livre.

Unspeakable Truths: Transitional Justice and the Challenge of Truth Commissions - Hayner, Priscilla B. (Routledge, 2010)
In a sweeping review of forty truth commissions, Priscilla Hayner delivers a definitive exploration of the global experience in official truth-seeking after widespread atrocities. When Unspeakable Truths was first published in 2001, it quickly became a classic, helping to define the field of truth commissions and the broader arena of transitional justice. This second edition is fully updated and expanded, covering twenty new commissions formed in the last ten years, analyzing new trends, and offering detailed charts that assess the impact of truth commissions and provide comparative information not previously available.Placing the increasing number of truth commissions within the broader expansion in transitional justice, Unspeakable Truths surveys key developments and new thinking in reparations, international justice, healing from trauma, and other areas. The book challenges many widely-held assumptions, based on hundreds of interviews and a sweeping review of the literature. This book will help to define how these issues are addressed in the future.

Viejos y nuevos retos para los archivos en la defensa de los derechos humanos - Quintana, Antonio González (Comma, 2021)
La relación entre archivos y derechos humanos ha sido intensa desde que se elaborara la Declaración de Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano, en 1789. La creación del Registro Civil o de los registros de propiedad junto con otros archivos públicos respondían al reto de hacer posible el ejercicio de aquellos derechos. A ese reto inicial han seguido otros como el de la lucha contra la impunidad de los crímenes contra los derechos humanos, auspiciada por Naciones Unidas. Fue la ocupación de los archivos de la Stasi, en 1990, durante las jornadas de movilización social que precedieron al fin de la República Democrática Alemana, el acontecimiento que marcó una nueva época para los archivos. De ser poderosos instrumentos del poder en los países totalitarios, los archivos de los organismos represivos pasaron a convertirse, en la transición democrática, en herramientas esenciales para la reparación de esas violaciones. Los archiveros, desde el Consejo Internacional de Archivos, se plantearon en 1993 el reto de conservar y proteger el gigantesco legado documental que testimonia la actuación de las policías políticas de estos estados y hacerlo accesible en favor de las políticas de “Justicia Transicional”. Desde entonces, los derechos humanos se han incorporado a la agenda de los archiveros de modo irreversible. Esa agenda incorpora ahora el uso de los archivos para afrontar nuevos retos en defensa de los derechos humanos, como el de luchar contra su violación en el mundo de los negocios o el de garantizar su uso en el entorno electrónico.

'We must remember our past so that we do not repeat it' - Forde, Helen (Journal of the Society of Archivists, 2004)
The theme of the 2003 CITRA conference concentrated on archives and human rights and the problems associated with the status, use and collection of such archives. It provided a global view of large-scale denial of human rights, and gave insight into different views and perceptions. In the UK the issue is less the mass denial of human rights, more the recurrent denial to individuals. How does the UK measure up in terms of trying to prevent the abuse of such rights? Will the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act make a difference? Raising awareness is a first step, but more action is needed in order to avoid any repetition of past failures.

When Sorry Isn't Enough: The Controversy Over Apologies and Reparations for Human Injustice - Brooks, Roy L. (NYU Press, 1999)
Leading scholars, activists, and political leaders on being victim's of the world's worst atrocities"How much compensation ought to be paid to a woman who was raped 7,500 times? What would the members of the Commission want for their daughters if their daughters had been raped even once?"?Karen Parker, speaking before the U.N. Commission on Human RightsSeemingly every week, a new question arises relative to the current worldwide ferment over human injustices. Why does the U.S. offer $20,000 atonement money to Japanese Americans relocated to concentration camps during World War II, while not even apologizing to African Americans for 250 years of human bondage and another century of institutionalized discrimination? How can the U.S. and Canada best grapple with the genocidal campaigns against Native Americans on which their countries were founded? How should Japan make amends to Korean "comfort women" sexually enslaved during World War II? Why does South Africa deem it necessary to grant amnesty to whites who tortured and murdered blacks under apartheid? Is Germany's highly praised redress program, which has paid billions of dollars to Jews worldwide, a success, and, as such, an example for others?More generally, is compensation for a historical wrong dangerous "blood money" that allows a nation to wash its hands forever of its responsibility to those it has injured? A rich collection of essays from leading scholars, pundits, activists, and political leaders the world over, many written expressly for this volume, When Sorry Isn't Enough also includes the voices of the victims of some of the world's worst atrocities, thereby providing a panoramic perspective on an international controversy often marked more by heat than reason.

Why the past matters : studying public administration in South Africa - Chipkin, I.; Meny-Gibert, S. (Journal of Public Administration, 2012)
The state of the public sector in South Africa is heavily influenced by particular histories of state administration related to the legacy of apartheid and the nature of the political transition to democracy. We suggest, however, that there is a paucity of scholarly work in the discipline of Public Administration which takes into account this legacy and the manner in which the public sector is embedded in broader social, political and economic relations. This has had significant consequences for the particular models of public administration adopted. In making our case for the importance of applying a historical lens to the study of the public sector, we draw on research on the incorporation of the former Bantustans into provincial government administration in South Africa.

Xiyue Wang was arrested nearly a year ago but his confinement only became known Sunday when Iran's judiciary announced his sentence, accusing him of "infiltrating" the country and sending confidential material abroad. The 36-year-old, described by Iranian authorities as holding Chinese and American citizenship, was in Iran doing research for his doctorate in late 19th and early 20th century Eurasian history when he was detained.

The international community can creatively and aggressively address deadly conflict through mediation, arbitration, and the development of international institutions to promote reconciliation. The editors of this book designed a systematic framework with which contributors compare third party intervention in twelve conflicts of the postDCold War period. They examine the role of international organizations_the United Nations, international development banks, and international law institutions_and they analyze the tools and forms of leverage in successful and unsuccessful mediations. Based on the case studies, the editors identify the most effective institutions, make recommendations for improving interventions, and elucidate several important insights into the mediation process and the role of the international community in dispute resolution.

Yasukuni Shrine: History, Memory, and Japan’s Unending Postwar - Takenaka, Akiko (University of Hawai'i Press, 2015)
This is the first extensive English-language study of Yasukuni Shrine as a war memorial. It explores the controversial shrine's role in waging war, promoting peace, honoring the dead, and, in particular, building Japan's modern national identity. It traces Yasukuni's history from its conceptualization in the final years of the Tokugawa period and Japan's wars of imperialism to the present. Author Akiko Takenaka departs from existing scholarship on Yasukuni by considering various themes important to the study of war and its legacies through a chronological and thematic survey of the shrine, emphasizing the spatial practices that took place both at the shrine and at regional sites associated with it over the last 150 years. Rather than treat Yasukuni as a single, unchanging ideological entity, she takes into account the social and political milieu, maps out gradual transformations in both its events and rituals, and explicates the ideas that the shrine symbolizes. Takenaka illuminates the ways the shrine's spaces were used during wartime, most notably in her reconstructions, based on primary sources, of visits by war-bereaved military families to the shrine during the Asia-Pacific War. She also traces important episodes in Yasukuni's postwar history, including the filing of lawsuits against the shrine and recent attempts to reinvent it for the twenty-first century. Through a careful analysis of the shrine's history over one and a half centuries, her work views the making and unmaking of a modern militaristic Japan through the lens of Yasukuni Shrine. Yasukuni Shrine: History, Memory, and Japan's Unending Postwar is a skilled and innovative examination of modern and contemporary Japan's engagement with the critical issues of war, empire, and memory. It will be of particular interest to readers of Japanese history and culture as well as those who follow current affairs and foreign relations in East Asia. Its discussion of spatial practices in the life of monuments and the political use of images, media, and museum exhibits will find a welcome audience among those engaged in memory, visual culture, and media studies.
