Filling an important gap within transitional justice scholarship, this conceptually led and empirically grounded interdisciplinary study takes the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) as a case study. It asks: How do legal witnesses of human rights violations contribute to memory production in transitional post-conflict societies? Witnessing at tribunals entails individuals externalising memories of violations. This is commonly construed within the transitional justice legal scholarship as an opportunity for individuals to ensure their memories are entered into an historical record. Yet this predominant understanding of witness testimony fails to comprehend the nature of memory. Memory construction entails fragments of individual and collective memories within a contestable and contingent framing of the past. Accordingly, the book challenges the claim that international criminal courts and tribunals are able to produce a collective memory of atrocities; as it maintains that witnessing must be understood as a contingent and multi-layered discursive process. Contributing to the specific analysis of witnessing and memory, but also to the broader field of transitional justice, this book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in these areas, as well as others in legal theory, global criminology, memory studies, international relations, and international human rights"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Witnesses. 650 0 $a Witnesses $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a International criminal courts. 650 0 $a Transitional justice. 650 0 $a Atrocities. 650 6 $a Tribunaux penaux internationaux. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0271041 650 6 $a Justice transitionnelle. $0 (CaQQLa)000264922 650 6 $a Atrocites. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0060298 650 7 $a Atrocities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 $a International criminal courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976876 650 7 $a Transitional justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747069 650 7 $a Witnesses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176383 650 7 $a Witnesses $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176390 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thorne, Benjamin. $t Figure of the witness in international criminal tribunals. $d Abingdon, Oxon [UK] ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003200130 $w (DLC) 2021058196 830 0 $a Transitional justice. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB003F5C96FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
