Crimes in Archival Form explores the many ways in which human
rights "facts" are produced rather than found. Using Myanmar as his
case study, Ken MacLean examines the fact-finding practices of a
human rights group, two cross-border humanitarian agencies, an
international law clinic, and a global NGO-led campaign.
Foregrounding fact-finding, in critical yet constructive ways,
prompts long overdue conversations about the possibilities and
limits of human rights documentation as a mode of truth-seeking.
Such conversations are particularly urgent in an era when the
perpetrators of large-scale human rights violations exploit
misinformation, weaponize disinformation, and employ outright
falsehoods, including deepfakes, to undermine the credibility of
those who document abuses and demand accountability in the court of
public opinion and in courts of law. MacLean compels practitioners
and scholars alike to be more transparent about how human rights
"fact" production works, why it is important, and when its use
should prompt concern.
