Abstract

The current approach of the international community to the question of accountability for atrocity crimes in Myanmar risks doing little to prevent such crimes in the future. It fails to shape accountability measures as a response to a complex and structural impunity problem that drives the recurrence of atrocity crimes. This article discusses building blocks for an alternative approach: a deeper understanding of impunity, a multifaceted concept of accountability, a greater awareness of the purpose and limitations of distinct accountability measures, and a deliberate connection between the accountability and prevention agendas. In doing so, the article explores how states can more effectively fulfil their international legal obligation to prevent atrocity crimes, in Myanmar and beyond.

缅甸的问责制:变革的垫脚石?
国际社会目前对缅甸暴行罪行的问责问题所采取的做法可能无助于防止今后发生此类罪行。它未能形成问责措施,作为对导致暴行犯罪复发的复杂和结构性有罪不罚问题的回应。本文讨论了另一种方法的基本要素:更深入地理解有罪不罚,多方面的问责概念,更深入地了解不同问责措施的目的和局限性,以及在问责和预防议程之间有意识地建立联系。在此过程中,本文探讨了各国如何更有效地履行其在缅甸及其他地区防止暴行犯罪的国际法律义务。
