This timely book builds bridges between the notions of art and
aesthetics, human rights, universality, and dignity. It explores a
world in which art and justice enter a discussion to answer
questions such as: can art translate the human experience? How does
humanity link individuality and community building? How do human
beings define and look for their identity? The fields of human
rights and art are brought together in order to open the
discussion. This interdisciplinary book brings together experts in
the fields of art, cultural heritage, social justice, human rights,
international law, and transitional justice, and presents the idea
that a complex interplay between morality, politics, law, and
aesthetics remains present in concrete settings such as the rights
of cultural creators, the right to artistic expression, art as a
catalyst of change in times of conflict, and post-conflict
restitutions. Such Chapters offer vignettes of the current debates
in the fields of art and human rights, tackling the issues at the
confluence of these fields by providing both a general framework to
understand the basis upon which the conversation can be built, and
also by bringing to the discussion a diverse range of contemporary
themes and concrete case analyses. This book will be an ideal read
for academics interested in international law, transitional justice
and human rights. Historians, lawyers, artists, and activists
looking to explore the relationship between art and human rights in
times of war, peace, and transition through their assessment of
contemporary issues will also benefit from this comprehensive book.
