Why and how can records serve as evidence of human rights
violations, in particular crimes against humanity, and help the
fight against impunity? Archives and Human Rights shows the close
relationship between archives and human rights and discusses the
emergence, at the international level, of the principles of the
right to truth, justice and reparation. Through a historical
overview and topical case studies from different regions of the
world the book discusses how records can concretely support these
principles. The current examples also demonstrate how the
perception of the role of the archivist has undergone a
metamorphosis in recent decades, towards the idea that archivists
can and must play an active role in defending basic human rights,
first and foremost by enabling access to documentation on human
rights violations. Confronting painful memories of the past is a
way to make the ghosts disappear and begin building a brighter,
more serene future. The establishment of international justice
mechanisms and the creation of truth commissions are important
elements of this process. The healing begins with the
acknowledgment that painful chapters are essential parts of
history; archives then play a crucial role by providing evidence.
This book is both a tool and an inspiration to use archives in
defence of human rights. The Open Access version of this book,

Recordkeeping in International Organizations offers an important
treatment of international organizations from a recordkeeping
perspective, while also illustrating how recordkeeping can play a
vital role in our efforts to improve global social conditions.
Demonstrating that organizations have both a responsibility and an
incentive to effectively manage their records in order to make
informed decisions, remain accountable to stakeholders, and
preserve institutional history, the book offers practical insights
and critical reflections on the effective management, protection,
and archiving of records. Through policy advice, surveys, mind
mapping, case studies, and strategic reflections, the book provides
guidance in the areas of archives, records, and information
management for the future. Among the topics addressed are
educational requirements for recordkeeping professionals,
communication policies, data protection and privacy, cloud
computing, classification and declassification policies, artificial
intelligence, risk management, enterprise architecture, and the
concepts of extraterritoriality and inviolability of archives. The
book also offers perspectives on how digital recordkeeping can
support the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the
accompanying Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recordkeeping in
International Organizations will be essential reading for records
and archives professionals, information technology, legal,
security, management, and leadership staff, including chief
information officers. The book should also be of interest to
students and scholars engaged in the study of records, archives,
and information management, information technology, information
security, and law.
