Accountability After Mass Atrocity: Latin American and African Examples in Comparative Perspective
|
|
The past several decades have seen the rise of criminal prosecutions—through local, national, regional, and international institutions—as a means of holding alleged perpetrators accountable for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and other serious offenses. The George Mason University's Center for Global Studies and the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution will organize an all-day symposium in Washington D.C., on May 6, 2009 to evaluate the efficacy and appropriateness of accountability efforts and to raise foundational questions about the principles that underlie responses to mass atrocity. This conference will explore existing and emergent institutions of accountability after mass atrocity from an explicitly comparative perspective. As nations in Latin America and Africa have seen considerable, yet quite different, attention to accountability, this conference will offer scholars and practitioners an opportunity to examine the variety and varied success of justice initiatives in these contexts.
