IACHR Welcomes Full Compliance with the Friendly Settlement Agreement in Case 12,756—El Aracatazzo Bar Massacre, Colombia - Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, 2023)
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has decided to declare full compliance with Friendly Settlement Report 10/15, concerning Case 12,756—El Aracatazzo Bar Massacre, Colombia—and will stop monitoring it. This case concerns the international responsibility of the Colombian State for the deaths of 18 people on August 12, 1995, at the bar El Aracatazzo, in the municipality of Chigorodó, in Antioquia. The killings were allegedly perpetrated by members of paramilitary groups, in connivance with law enforcement officers at a checkpoint operated by the National Army's Infantry Battalion 46. These law enforcement officers allegedly failed to take protection measures to support civilians, despite having heard shots. They also allegedly failed to conduct a diligent criminal investigation and a disciplinary review of the people involved. The case went unpunished for more than 10 years.

Colombia: CIDH saluda el cumplimiento total del acuerdo de solución amistosa del Caso 12.756, Masacre Estadero El Aracatazzo - Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA) (Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA), 2023)
La Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) comunica su decisión de declarar el cumplimiento total y el cese del seguimiento del Informe de Homologación No. 10/15, relativo al Caso 12.756, Masacre Estadero El Aracatazzo. El asunto se relaciona con la responsabilidad internacional del Estado colombiano por la muerte de 18 personas en el estadero "El Aracatazzo", municipio de Chigorodó, Antioquia, el 12 de agosto de 1995. La muerte se habría dado en manos de miembros de grupos paramilitares, con la aquiescencia de agentes de la fuerza pública que se encontraban en un retén del Batallón de Infantería No. 46 del Ejército Nacional. Los agentes policiales habrían omitido tomar medidas de protección frente a disparos y socorrer a la población civil. Así mismo, habrían fallado en realizar, de manera diligente, una investigación penal y disciplinaria de los involucrados, habiendo transcurrido más de 10 años sin que se sancionara a los presuntos responsables.

Navigating Cultural Memory: Commemoration and Narrative in Postgenocide Rwanda - Mwambari, David (Explorations in Narrative Psychology, 2023)
Navigating Cultural Memory examines how a master narrative of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi evolved into a hegemonic narrative both in Rwanda and globally. Identifying key actors who shaped and responded to the evolution and enforcement of the master narrative in the first two decades after the genocide and civil war ended, it engages with important questions about collective memory, trauma, and power following violent and divisive events. With chapters analyzing interviews the author collected, as well as other secondary sources, Mwambari charts how Rwandans from different backgrounds--who he identifies as Champions, Antagonists, and Fatalists of the master narrative--have responded to this event through language, physical symbols of memory, art, and traditional and new media.

Upcoming events at Zócalo Public Square 2023-08-23: The Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel did not believe in collective guilt. Instead, he asked for repair, and for holding the post-World War II generation of Germans responsible “not for the past, but for the way it remembers the past. And for what it does with the memory of the past.” Other societies and communities have taken up Wiesel’s call—at the national level, South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Argentina’s efforts to prosecute Dirty War military leaders, and at the local level, movements like the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission in North Carolina and land back efforts in the Pacific Northwest. What comes after we remember, from apology and forgiveness to reparations and justice?

How the author of 'California, a Slave State' revised our too-sunny history - Pfaelzer, Jean (Yale University Press, 2023)
By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers.

California, a Slave State - Pfaelzer, Jean (Yale University Press, 2023)
California owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives—the first slaves transported into California—and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California’s carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers. Slavery shreds California’s utopian brand, rewrites our understanding of the West, and redefines America’s uneasy paths to freedom.
