1/7. Transitional justice – confronting past human rights violations – has been on the agenda in #LatinAmerica since the 1980s
Violence perpetrated by dictatorships & in civil wars during the Cold War in Latin America has resulted in thousands, even 100s of thousands, of victims

2/7. How might past human rights violations be tackled when political times change?
Cuba in 1959 choose revolutionary justice: show trials&executions
Latin America since the 1980s did better. It sought transitional justice: due process for the accused, truth&justice for victims

1/7 I am very excited to share that my book, ‘The Figure of the Witness in International Criminal Tribunals: Memory, Atrocities and Transitional Justice’ is officially published today with @routledge as part of the #TransitionalJustice book series.

2/7 The book explores how international criminal institutions, and their actors – legal counsels, judges, investigators, registrars – construct #witness identity and #memory, taking the #ICTR as a case study.
3/7 It constructs an original conceptual framework of witness memories, & conducts a discourse analysis of ICTR archive material relating to the underexplored ‘pre-trial’ stage to argue that witnessing must be understood as a contingent and multi-layered discursive process.
Delighted to announce the release of my new report for @CFR_org, “The Day After in Venezuela: Delivering Security and Dispensing Justice.” Should @NicolasMaduro relinquish power, the US and likeminded partners will need a plan to reinstate the rule of law. cfr.org/report/day-aft…
#2. International actors have not planned sufficiently for stabilizing the security environment or fostering #transitionaljustice, which could itself be an important lever to push regime operatives toward defection or at least meaningful negotiations.
#3. Aftermath of Maduro’s departure could see conflict among armed factions, unstable political coalitions, corruption, and a #refugee and #migrant outflow. US should anticipate such fallout and identify opps now to ensure that any transition begets the restoration of #democracy.
Here's my 2-part plan to heal America's race/policing injustices based on human dignity while upholding the rule of law & the US Constitution. #TransitionalJustice tackles issues of police reform, truth commissions, #reparations, etc. (1) Reform Policing: blog.acton.org/archives/11655…
Part 2: Racial justice, racial healing, & racial solidarity that involves the whole community: government, faith-based organizations, schools, etc. We cannot properly talk about #reparations or racial reconciliation outside of #TransitionalJustice. fathommag.com/stories/finall…
Email, text, and RT these articles to your mayors, governors, state legislators, city council members, religious leaders, teachers, activists, non-profit leaders, business leaders, judges, law enforcement officials and begin the healing process one city at a time.
