Legitimacy has become a widespread term within policy documents of international organizations, not least international peacekeeping. But legitimacy is also a contested concept, so it matters greatly how it is understood on the ground. In this article, I ask what meanings the UN Department of Peace Operations attributes to the concept of legitimacy. Using a qualitative content analysis to study policy and training documents published by the department, I argue that the department understands the local legitimacy of UN peacekeeping missions as a (mis-)perception of its international legitimacy and underappreciates how other actors might undermine UN and state legitimacy.

The article argues that their capacity varies according to the ongoing power dynamics resulting from local, national and international factors that shape the establishment of a TC.

摘要本文探讨了公民社会组织如何能够塑造真相委员会(tc)的知识生产政治。这篇文章认为,它们的能力根据地方、国家和国际因素造成的持续权力动态而变化,这些因素决定了技术委员会的建立。这些因素的相互作用通过一个分析框架进行研究,该框架评估了三个维度,即:全球过渡时期司法规范的标准化和扩散;这些规范在国家一级技术中心设计中的影响;以及与民间社会行动者就过渡委员会的授权进行谈判。关键词:真相委员会、过渡司法、知识生产、公民社会、受害者披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。注1本文在2021年期间受益于国际加泰罗尼亚和平研究所(ICIP) (R-ICIP008-2020)的研究资助本文承认Gready和Robins (Citation2017)提出的“新公民社会”概念,它涵盖了超越民间社会作为非政府组织(ngo),主要是人权非政府组织的传统概念的社会运动和集体行动。然而,它侧重于受害者组织,因为他们一直是与tc的主要对话者。在许多情况下,这些组织本身也是更大的社会运动的一部分,例如种族-领土运动,例如在哥伦比亚。3特别是,费尔南德斯-托恩(Citation2015)将真相委员会过程分为三个阶段:导致建立真相委员会的时期;第二,在委员会成立至提交最后报告期间,即委员会执行其工作期间;第三,当这些建议被汇编进委员会的最终报告时。本文只考察第一阶段和第二阶段,不讨论第三阶段从2002年塞拉利昂过渡委员会成立到2022年哥伦比亚过渡委员会最终报告发布。在理论框架方面,我们要感谢Briony Jones、Julie Bernath和Simon Robbins对初稿提出的见解和建议作者感谢ICTJ高级顾问Adriana Rudling就哥伦比亚案例提供的见解;国际特赦组织尼泊尔总干事尼拉詹·塔帕利亚(Nirajan Thapaliya)对尼泊尔案件的评论;布阿克萨姆大学政治学系主任奥斯曼·吉娜(Ousmane Zina)在科特迪瓦发表的演讲2011-85号总统令,2011年5月13日访谈,ICTJ代表,20121.7月9访谈,CSCI协调员,阿比让,20121.7月10关于2007年至2011年期间对失踪调查委员会和真相与和解委员会进行的磋商的概述,见Fernandez Torne Citation2013.11访谈,ICTJ代表,20121.8月12访谈,CEV性别小组协调员,20121.8月3日访谈主任Ruta Pacífica de las Mujeres, 20121.8月25日访谈,ICTJ代表,20121.8月访谈,CDVR前成员,20121.7月30日访谈,知识单元CEV代表,2021年8月17日。本研究得到了加泰罗尼亚国际和平研究所(ICIP)/国际加泰罗尼亚和平研究所的支持[资助号:RICIP008-2020]。

This article interrogates the simplistic juxtaposition of protectors and protected in South Sudan’s Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites, by asking: who was civilian in South Sudan, and how were civilians being protected? We present a civilian landscape that is much broader and more complex than the dominant PoC imaginary. Drawing attention to civilians who engage in professional tasks, the article considers the everyday practices of humanitarians and journalists. This illustrates that the category of ‘civilian’ is not the bureaucratic or legal certainty suggested by international law or PoC discourse, but unstable, shifting and constructed through everyday practice.
