This multi-disciplinary collection interrogates the role of human
rights in addressing past injustices. The volume draws on legal
scholars, political scientists, anthropologists and political
philosophers grappling with the weight of the memory of historical
injustices arising from conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and
Australasia. It examines the role of human rights as legal
doctrine, rhetoric and policy as developed by states, international
organizations, regional groups and non-governmental bodies. The
authors question whether faith in human rights is justified as balm
to heal past injustice or whether such faith nourishes both
victimhood and self-justification. These issues are explored
through three discrete sections: moments of memory and injustice,
addressing injustice; and questions of faith. In each of these
sections, authors address the manner in which memory of past
conflicts and injustice haunt our contemporary understanding of
human rights. The volume questions whether the expectation that
human rights law can deal with past injustice has undermined the
development of an emancipatory politics of human rights for our
current world.
