Democracy in Darkness Secrecy and Transparency in the Age of Revolutions - Carter, Katlyn Marie (The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History, 2023)
Does democracy die in darkness, as the saying suggests? This book reveals that modern democracy was born in secrecy, despite the widespread conviction that transparency was its very essence. But as revolutionaries sought to fashion representative government, they faced a dilemma. In a context where gaining public trust seemed to demand transparency, was secrecy ever legitimate?

Du groupe de travail à la Section Archives et droits de l’Homme. Le Cap 2003 - Adelaïde 2019* - Canavaggio, Perrine (Comma, 2021)
A la mémoire de Cristina Bianchi (1957-2017), membre actif du groupe jusqu’à sa disparition prématurée en 2017, et de Louis Joinet (1934-2019) dont le soutien a été déterminant. La création de la Section Archives et droits de l’Homme du Conseil International des Archives est l’occasion de faire le bilan du travail accompli par le groupe de travail dont elle est issue et de tenter d’en évaluer l’impact. Les actions de sensibilisation menées depuis 2003 en direction des défenseurs des droits de l’Homme ont permis aux archivistes de bénéficier de leur soutien. Ils ont ainsi pu obtenir des Nations Unies la reconnaissance de l’importance des archives pour l’exercice du droit à la vérité dans les sociétés en transition démocratique. Des actions de professionnalisation ont été engagées pour aider les organisations non gouvernementales à préserver leurs archives et les archivistes à traiter les fonds concernant la défense des droits de l’Homme. La nouvelle Section aura la légitimité et les moyens nécessaires pour mener à bien des projets plus ambitieux.

Their protest erupted when labour activist Anna Walentynowicz was fired from her shipyard job. The mass strike action inspired the Solidarity movement that united 10 million workers and led to momentous political change. Strength in Numbers demonstrates the power of collective action during one of the largest labour uprisings in modern times.

China: The Pessoptimist Nation - Callahan, William A. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
The rise of China presents a long-term challenge to the world not only economically, but politically and culturally. Callahan meets this challenge in China: The Pessoptimist Nation by using new Chinese sources and innovative analysis to see how Chinese people understand their new place in the world.To chart the trajectory of its rise, the book shifts from examining China's national interests to exploring its national aesthetic. Rather than answering the standard social science question "what is China?" with statistics of economic and military power, this book asks "when, where, and who is China?" to explore the soft power dynamics of China's identity politics.China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through careful analysis, Callahan charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics. China thus is the pessoptimist nation where national security is closely linked to nationalist insecurities.Callahan concludes that this interactive view of China's pessoptimist identity means that we need to rethink the role of the state and public opinion in Beijing's foreign policy-making.

Records management at the Council of Europe (2): the digital turn - Büttner, Gesa (Comma, 2021)
The implementation of electronic records management at the Council of Europe was a crucial step in leading the intergovernmental human rights organization towards comprehensive corporate information management. The motivation for introducing records management was to improve access to information. Finding information proved to be difficult due to the fragmented information landscape, combined with a lack of governance for digital information. To amend this situation, corporate control and standardization were introduced along the whole information life cycle, involving the information producers as key players. The article describes this implementation, covering roughly the decade from 2008 to 2018, from its foundations and preparations to the deployment, awareness-raising and training activities. Special emphasis is put on the instruments that support a standardized records management approach, such as business classification scheme, retention and disposal schedules, and metadata. The success and failure points are briefly presented. It appears that records management can be a catalyst for corporate-wide information management.

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.

Torture in Brazil: A Shocking Report on the Pervasive Use of Torture by Brazilian Military Governments, 1964-1979, Secretly Prepared by the Archiodese of São Paulo - Brazil Archdiocese of São Paulo (University of Texas Press, 1998)
Winner, A Choice Outstanding Academic BookFrom 1964 until 1985, Brazil was ruled by a military regime that sanctioned the systematic use of torture in dealing with its political opponents. The catalog of what went on during that grim period was originally published in Portuguese as Brasil: Nunca Mais (Brazil: Never Again) in 1985.The volume was based on the official documentation kept by the very military that perpetrated the horrific acts. These extensive documents include military court proceedings of actual trials, secretly photocopied by lawyers associated with the Catholic Church and analyzed by a team of researchers. Their daring project—known as BNM for Brasil: Nunca Mais—compiled more than 2,700 pages of testimony by political prisoners documenting close to three hundred forms of torture.The BNM project proves conclusively that torture was an essential part of the military justice system and that judicial authorities were clearly aware of the use of torture to extract confessions. Still, it took more than a decade after the publication of Brasil: Nunca Mais for the armed forces to admit publicly that such torture had ever taken place. Torture in Brazil, the English version of the book re-edited here, serves as a timely reminder of the role of Brazil's military in past repression.

Puig Antich: La Transición inacabada - Bravo, Gutmaro Gómez (2014)
Una exhaustiva investigación del caso Puig Antich para cuestionar la imperfecta transición española.Los detalles del proceso contra el anarquista Salvador Puig Antich, último ejecutado por garrote vil en España hace cuarenta años, son aún hoy materia reservada. Solo gracias a la revisión del caso, que sigue abierto en Argentina, y a la documentación que se conserva en archivos de todo el mundo, ha sido posible desmentir una serie de tópicos de un episodio que marcó la hoja de ruta del final de una dictadura, incapaz ya de mantenerse sin el uso de la fuerza.La causa 106, dirigida por un juzgado militar de Barcelona entre octubre de 1973 y marzo de 1974, significó mucho más que una simple venganza por el atentado contra el presidente del Gobierno Carrero Blanco. Se cruzó con la primera crisis de su sucesor, Arias Navarro, abierta por la decisión de endurecer a toda costa la política represiva y terminar con cualquier experimento reformista. Tal y como revelan los informes de la embajada estadounidense, el principal interés del gobierno al retomar la pena de muerte era terminar con el malestar presente en los sectores más inmovilistas, especialmente entre el Ejército y la policía política. El caso se adentra así en un mundo que, a pesar de sufrir una serie de cambios, lógicos a lo largo de casi cuatro décadas de existencia, supuso la principal fuente de estabilidad de un régimen que comenzaba a resquebrajarse, seriamente, en ese mismo período.Puig Antich. La transición inacabada conduce, por último, al camino recorrido por una democracia que no ha invalidado las sentencias de los tribunales militares de la guerra y la dictadura. Y es una reflexión sobre cómo se ha ido fraguando una realidad de memorias enfrentadas, tan compleja como contradictoria, que muestra todavía hoy los efectos de la que fuese la dictadura más larga de Europa occidental.

La Guerre d'Algérie : une histoire apaisée ? - Branche, Raphaëlle (Seuil, 2005)
Guerre d'Algérie ici, guerre de libération nationale là-bas, quelle que soit la manière dont on le nomme, ce conflit a été, dès son origine, l'objet d'interprétations divergentes. Des hommes politiques construisaient la guerre par les mots quand d'autres la niaient. Les sociétés algérienne et française ont hérité de ces affrontements. Depuis 1962, les historiens ont dû travailler au milieu des affects, des tensions et des désirs contradictoires exprimés à l'égard de ce passé complexe et sensible. L'analyse des cinquante années écoulées depuis le déclenchement de l'insurrection fait également ressortir le poids du politique sur les conditions d'écriture de l'histoire, qu'il s'agisse de contrôler le récit sur le passé, de le surveiller, de l'interdire mais aussi de l'encourager ou de le faciliter. Ainsi, l'accès aux archives demeure, encore aujourd'hui, une question cruciale de part et d'autre de la Méditerranée. L'étude de l'historiographie française et étrangère révèle pourtant que la recherche avance. Mais un constat s'impose aussi : les voies pour une histoire sereine de la guerre ne se dégagent que lentement.

Why and how can records serve as evidence of human rights violations, in particular crimes against humanity, and help the fight against impunity? Archives and Human Rights shows the close relationship between archives and human rights and discusses the emergence, at the international level, of the principles of the right to truth, justice and reparation.Through a historical overview and topical case studies from different regions of the world the book discusses how records can concretely support these principles. The current examples also demonstrate how the perception of the role of the archivist has undergone a metamorphosis in recent decades, towards the idea that archivists can and must play an active role in defending basic human rights, first and foremost by enabling access to documentation on human rights violations.Confronting painful memories of the past is a way to make the ghosts disappear and begin building a brighter, more serene future. The establishment of international justice mechanisms and the creation of truth commissions are important elements of this process. The healing begins with the acknowledgment that painful chapters are essential parts of history; archives then play a crucial role by providing evidence. This book is both a tool and an inspiration to use archives in defence of human rights.

13 : L'ouverture des archives d'une police politique communiste : le cas tchèque, de Zdena Salivarová à Milan Kundera - Blaive, Muriel (Archives et histoire dans les sociétés postcommunistes, 2009)
Pendant soixante-dix ans, la recherche sur le monde soviétique s’est élaborée sans possibilité de recours aux sources primaires. « Discipline » à mi-chemin entre l’histoire immédiate et la science politique, la soviétologie, comme on l’appelait alors, était privée de l’outil traditionnel de l’historien : les archives. De ce fait, elle était d’autant plus perméable aux présupposés idéologiques. Bien que leur ouverture soit encore partielle et inégale selon les pays, les archives du monde communiste ont permis des avancées notables dans l’historiographie. Traduisant le rapport qu’entretiennent aujourd’hui les sociétés postcommunistes avec leur passé, leur usage public a encouragé le questionnement sur la centralité accordée aux dossiers des polices politiques. D’autres lectures des archives de la surveillance, d’autres champs de recherche ont pu être explorés, qu’il s’agisse des relations entre les dirigeants et entre les États, des rapports entre l’État-Parti et la société ou encore de l’approfondissement d’épisodes majeurs de l’histoire comme la Shoah à l’Est, longtemps négligée. Revers de la médaille, l’ouverture des archives et la dramaturgie autour de leurs révélations ont mis en relief un usage public du passé qui rappelle la fragilité de l’histoire comme discipline autonome. Issu d’un colloque organisé par la BDIC à l’université de Paris-Ouest-Nanterre, cet ouvrage collectif rassemble des travaux d’archivistes et d’historiens qui tentent ici un bilan, vingt ans après la chute du Mur de Berlin, de l’apport de l’archive à l’historiographie et à l’intelligibilité de l’expérience communiste.

Words Over War: Mediation and Arbitration to Prevent Deadly Conflict - Bien, William J.; Bouckaert, Peter; Hanson, Alan; Khachikian, Arthur; King, Kevin; Laudy, Mark; Levy, Tali; Messing, Barbara; Stettenheim, Joel; Tang, Rock; Weinthal, Erika (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 1999)
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.

Human Rights Archives and Research on Historical Memory: Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay - Bickford, Louis (Latin American Research Review, 2000)
[This research note discusses an emerging subfield of inquiry in the study of democratization in Latin America: a focus on the relationships between past human rights abuses and democratization processes. It outlines four sets of questions emerging around the themes of "historical memory" and "legacies of authoritarian rule." The study then examines documentary collections of major human rights nongovernmental organizations (HRNGOs) in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The purpose of this endeavor is to provide researchers interested in studying the four issues with specific information on documents produced and currently held by the HRNGOs in the Southern Cone. The essay examines seven HRNGOs in Chile, ten in Argentina, and four in Uruguay, and ends with practical hints for researchers who wish to use these resources.]

Sobre o Conceito de História: Edição Crítica - Benjamin, Walter; Müller, Adalberto; Seligmann-Silva, Márcio (Alameda Editorial, 2020)
Oitenta anos depois da composição dessas teses impressiona a absoluta atualidade delas. A necessidade de se repaginar a história do ponto de vista dos vencidos é imperativa. Ela deve estar na base de qualquer projeto digno de um viver em comum que vise nos catapultar para fora desse nosso momento histórico de triunfo do neocolonialismo, do negacionismo da crise ambiental, da homofobia, da misoginia, do racismo, de fobia à política, à democracia e aos direitos humanos.Se revisionistas neofascistas estão galgando o poder hoje é porque também não soubemos nos aparelhar politicamente com uma história estruturada de modo forte o suficiente para resistir aos ataques negacionistas e memoricidas. O revisionismo fascista que quer glorificar ditaduras e torturadores exige uma resposta que se dá, antes de mais nada, no campo da guerra das imagens, para usar uma expressão do cineasta e videoartista Harun Farocki. Benjamin afirmou há oitenta anos que estávamos \perdendo essa batalha. Cabe a nós reverter este estado de coisas. Como lemos nas suas teses de 1940:“Articular o passado historicamente não significa conhecê-lo “como ele foi de fato”. Significa apoderar-se de uma recordação, tal como ela relampeja no instante de um perigo. Para o materialismo histórico, trata-se de capturar uma imagem do passado tal como ela, no instante do perigo, configura-se inesperadamente ao sujeito histórico. O perigo ameaça tanto a sobrevivência da tradição quanto os seus destinatários. Para ambos ele é um e o mesmo: entregar-se como ferramenta da classe dominante.Em cada época, deve-se tentar novamente liberar a tradição do conformismo, que está prestes a subjugá-la. Pois o Messias não vem apenas como Redentor, ele vem como o vencedor do Anticristo. Apenas tem o dom de atiçar no passado aquelas centelhas de esperança o historiógrafo atravessado por esta certeza: nem os mortos estarão em segurança se o inimigo vencer. E esse inimigo não tem cessado de vencer.”Márcio Seligmann-Silva

Ce livre analyse la dynamique qui s'est emparée de la Tunisie lors de la révolution des "Jasmins". Un vent de liberté souffle sur le pays. Mais l'extrémisme religieux et la violence perturbent cet élan vers la démocratie. L'histoire multimillénaire du pays, son esprit laïc et le statut de la femme tunisienne expliquent que ce pays n'ait pas sombré dans le chaos comme l'Egypte ou la Libye. En citant Mandela, Sade et d'autres acteurs de la révolution française, il fait un parallèle avec les acteurs de la révolution tunisienne pour permettre une meilleure compréhension des faits et donner des perspectives sur l'avenir du pays.

L'archive sensible: mémoires, intimité et domination : Afrique, Amérique latine, Péninsule ibérique - Basto, Maria-Benedita; Marcilhacy, David (Editions Hispaniques, 2017)
Cet ouvrage s’interroge sur les relations entre mémoire, intimité et historiographie dans le contexte particulier des expériences de domination – colonialisme et dictatures – qui ont affecté les espaces (ex)impériaux des mondes ibériques contemporains. En s’appuyant sur différents cas d’étude (Afrique, Amérique latine, Péninsule ibérique), les chapitres qui composent ce volume explorent le double mouvement de domination et de subversion au prisme de ce que nous appelons l’archive sensible. Ce concept permet d’envisager des archives relevant de mémoires intimes, familiales, domestiques, individuelles ou collectives, et qui en ce sens, se confrontent avec des vécus émotionnels comme sources de savoir. En croisant questions théoriques et résultats de travaux de terrain, le volume contribue ainsi à penser l’apport et le rapport de ces sources à l’historiographie, tout en proposant une réflexion sur le concept même d’archive, qui l’ouvre à de nouveaux usages.

Crimes Against Humanity in International Criminal Law - Bassiouni, M. (Springer, 1999)
In this revised edition, Professor Bassiouni persuasively establishes the legal validity of the Nuremberg Charter and describes the evolution of crimes against humanity' from 1945 to the 1998 ICC Statute. The book's comprehensive historical and legal analysis starts with the origins of this crime in the international regulation of armed conflicts and covers the Nuremberg, Tokyo and Allied Prosecutions after World War II, and subsequent national prosecutions, as well as the Statutes of the ICTY, ICTR and their jurisprudence, and the Statute of the ICC. The Nuremberg Charter first established crimes against humanity' in positive international criminal law, but it raised lingering legal issues. The book examines the ten different international legal formulations which were developed at that time, particularly their overlap with genocide and war crimes, and sorts out the confusion regarding the legal characteristics of this crime. The meticulous and thorough analysis of all relevant legal issues, many of which are not covered elsewhere, includes: principles of legality, criminal responsibility for decision-makers and others, command responsibility, obedience to superior orders and other defences, specific contents and their counterpart in national laws, policy considerations, and the applicability of this crime to non-State actors. The wealth of information and detailed discussion of international and national prosecutions and their failures make a compelling case for more effective enforcement in the future. The author brings to this book his well-known scholarship and unique practical experiences as Chairman of the UN Commission that investigated these crimes in the former Yugoslavia, andas Chairman of the ICC's Drafting Committee in Rome. The breadth and depth of this exhaustively documented book makes it the definitive authority on crimes against humanity'.

De cóndores y jueces: reflexiones archivísticas sobre una investigación judicial - Barrera, Giulia (Tábula, 2011)
El artículo aborda algunas de las cuestiones archivísticas que aparecieron durante una investigación judicial realizada por el Ministerio público de Roma (Italia) sobre las violaciones de derechos humanos en Sudamérica en los años 1970. Concretamente, la investigación se centró en el asesinato de algunos ciudadanos italo-argentinos e italo-uruguayos, por, posiblemente, agentes secretos que pertenecieron al Sistema de Cóndor. El trabajo aborda tres puntos diferente - aunque interrelacionados-: (1) muestra como la justicia transnacional conduce a la construcción de archivos de procesos complejos, de naturaleza internacional, y a conflictos internacionales y locales sobre la categoría legal de la prueba documental; (2) argumenta que los archivos de procesos celebrados en América, en cuanto a abusos de derechos humanos, deberían ser accesibles a los ciudadanos de los países afectados; (3) sobre la base de la experiencia de la autora como consultora en esta investigación judicial, el texto recalca que la descripción de archivo según las normas profesionales ayuda al trabajo judicial.

Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil - Arendt, Hannah (Viking Press, 1963)
"While living in Argentina in 1960, Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann was kidnapped and smuggled to Israel where he was put on trial for crimes against humanity. The New Yorker magazine sent Hannah Arendt to cover the trial. While covering the technical aspects of the trial, Arendt also explored the wider themes inherent in the trial, such as the nature of justice, the behavior of the Jewish leadership during the Nazi Régime, and, most controversially, the nature of Evil itself. Far from being evil incarnate, as the prosecution painted Eichmann, Arendt maintains that he was an average man, a petty bureaucrat interested only in furthering his career, and the evil he did came from the seductive power of the totalitarian state and an unthinking adherence to the Nazi cause. Indeed, Eichmann's only defense during the trial was "I was just following orders."

Essays in Understanding, 1930-1954: Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism - Arendt, Hannah (Schocken, 2005)
Few thinkers have addressed the political horrors and ethical complexities of the twentieth century with the insight and passionate intellectual integrity of Hannah Arendt. She was irresistible drawn to the activity of understanding, in an effort to endow historic, political, and cultural events with meaning. Essays in Understanding assembles many of Arendt’s writings from the 1930s, 1940s, and into the 1950s. Included here are illuminating discussions of St. Augustine, existentialism, Kafka, and Kierkegaard: relatively early examinations of Nazism, responsibility and guilt, and the place of religion in the modern world: and her later investigations into the nature of totalitarianism that Arendt set down after The Origins of Totalitarianism was published in 1951. The body of work gathered in this volume gives us a remarkable portrait of Arendt’s developments as a thinker—and confirms why her ideas and judgments remain as provocative and seminal today as they were when she first set them down.

National Book Award Finalist TIME Magazine's #1 Nonfiction Book of 2012A New York Times Notable BookA Washington Post Top Ten Book of 2012Best Nonfiction of 2012: The Wall Street Journal, The Plain Dealer In the much-anticipated follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag, acclaimed journalist Anne Applebaum delivers a groundbreaking history of how Communism took over Eastern Europe after World War II and transformed in frightening fashion the individuals who came under its sway. Iron Curtain describes how, spurred by Stalin and his secret police, the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe were created and what daily life was like once they were complete. Drawing on newly opened East European archives, interviews, and personal accounts translated for the first time, Applebaum portrays in chilling detail the dilemmas faced by millions of individuals trying to adjust to a way of life that challenged their every belief and took away everything they had accumulated. As a result the Soviet Bloc became a lost civilization, one whose cruelty, paranoia, bizarre morality, and strange aesthetics Applebaum captures in these electrifying pages.

JUSTICE TRANSITIONNELLE DE L'AFRIQUE DU SUD AU RWANDA - Andrieu, Kora (Gallimard, 2012)
Justice transitionnelle ? Connais pas. Pourtant c'est désormais, dans les relations internationales, une "recette" devenue comme une norme qui s'appliquerait à tout pays sortant d'une dictature ou d'une guerre et aspirant à une vie politique et civique pacifiée. Les pays concernés sont aujourd'hui légion : Afrique du Sud, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Ouganda, Libye, Côte d'Ivoire, Égypte, Tunisie, Guinée, Maroc, sans oublier nombre de pays latino-américains et européens - ceux autrefois dominés à l'Est par les régimes communistes, ou l'Espagne hantée par les fosses communes du régime franquiste. Dans tous les cas, il a été question de "commissions Vérité et Réconciliation", de guérison des atrocités du passé par l'expression publique des victimes et d'éventuelles réparations financières ou symboliques, voire de la "fonction sociale" des procès de dictateurs et de tortionnaires. Or la culture démocratique ne se forge pas d'emblée dans ces normes cathartiques et la démocratie politique ne peut surgir de situations d'inégalités sociales et économiques iniques (l'Afrique du Sud et le Maroc le prouvent à l'envi). La justice transitionnelle n'a de chance de devenir réalité que si, au-delà de l'expression publique, trop souvent contrôlée, des victimes, celles-ci se transforment en authentiques acteurs de la démocratie grâce à la satisfaction de normes et d'attentes que sont la reconnaissance, la dignité, la tolérance, la confiance et l'autonomie. Voici la philosophie politique mise au défi de la réalité la plus crue, partout, maintenant.
