In the twenty-first century, fighting impunity has become both the
rallying cry and a metric of progress for human rights. The new
emphasis on criminal prosecution represents a fundamental change in
the positions and priorities of students and practitioners of human
rights and transitional justice: it has become almost
unquestionable common sense that criminal punishment is a legal,
political, and pragmatic imperative for addressing human rights
violations. This book challenges that common sense. It does so by
documenting and critically analyzing the trend toward an
anti-impunity norm in a variety of institutional and geographical
contexts, with an eye toward the interaction between practices at
the global and local levels. Together, the chapters demonstrate how
this laser focus on anti-impunity has created blind spots in
practice and in scholarship that result in a constricted response
to human rights violations, a narrowed conception of justice, and
an impoverished approach to peace.
