In Colombia, the FARC and the Colombian government have adopted a new term, ‘reincorporation,’ to refer to the FARC’s simultaneous and collective transition into society, in contrast to past programmes in which ex-combatants individually transitioned back into civilian society (generally known as ‘reintegration’). This collectivist approach is unprecedented in postconflict societies. In this Note from the Field, I seek to offer observations about this collective process of reintegration based on ethnographic fieldwork and suggest how ethnography can reveal new imaginaries for DDR scenarios.

ABSTRACT This article aims to explore the potential of art to create alternatives to hegemonic narratives in post-traumatic societies and the role of art in the re-politicization of both the artist and the audience. It discusses the role of art in constructing the ethics and memory of Never Again through the visual artworks of Guillermo Núñez (1930) and Ariel Dorfman’s (1942) play Death and the Maiden (1990). Such artistic productions enable the re-participation of the traumatized body in political life not only through the represented story but also through the active reflection and agency of the art producer and the viewer. In this way, they contribute to making visible the passive remembering that is often underestimated in the battle of memories, and to transforming abstract and generalizing facing practices in transitional periods into individual and specific ‘face-ings.’

ABSTRACT∞ This article offers a critical assessment of efforts to address the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict. We begin with an overview of government-led initiatives since 1998 and then reflect on three underpinning themes: justice, accountability and the tilt towards impunity; the shift from ‘truth’ to ‘information’ recovery; and the instrumentalization of history. We then offer a reflexive assessment of our endeavours to contribute to a ‘from below’ variant of legal, political and historical advocacy. Reflecting on our efforts to contest and critique successive government proposals, we draw out three overlapping ‘ideal types’ of transitional justice advocacy: technical engagement, coalition building and exposition. We conclude by highlighting the very specific challenges of engaging in transitional justice scholarship and advocacy in a ‘post-truth’ era.

ABSTRACT In the Philippines, governmental and civil society actors installed a range of mechanisms to deal with violent legacies of the Marcos regime. Formal truth-telling mechanisms were, however, not part of the early transitional justice architecture, meaning that truth-seeking initially took place as part of other justice efforts. Nonetheless, more recently, a boom in truth, documentation and memorialization processes has resulted in a dynamic eco-system of formal and informal truth initiatives, dealing with Martial Law as well as other violent legacies. This article argues that this eco-system of truth initiatives underlines the importance and potential of foregrounding the dissemination of truths through a decentralized approach to truth-telling, as well as the potential of ‘narrative documentation’ in doing so. I then explore how this eco-systemic approach to truth-telling, and the narrative documentation used as part of it, can be a meaningful strategy in the face of ongoing disinformation campaigns.

ABSTRACT∞ This article examines the tangible consequences of ongoing armed violence for the implementation of Colombia’s innovative transitional court, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, JEP). Establishing transitional justice mechanisms in contexts of persistent armed violence poses significant challenges and the implementation process is likely to seem flawed or lacking to those actors involved. These complex scenarios raise critical questions for the field of transitional justice, notably regarding the expectations of victims and the feasibility of providing truth, justice and reparation in hostile settings. Based on the case of the Colombia’s northwestern Urabá region, this article argues that contexts of ongoing violence have a direct adverse effect on the possibility of the meaningful and effective participation of victims, perpetrators and other key actors in transitional justice processes. Consequently, this restricted participation initiates a ‘domino effect,’ which negatively impacts other transitional goals, including, in the specific case of the JEP, its restorative aims.
本文探讨了哥伦比亚创新型过渡法庭“和平特别管辖权”(Jurisdicción Special para la Paz, JEP)实施过程中持续武装暴力的具体后果。在持续武装暴力的情况下建立过渡时期司法机制构成重大挑战，在有关行为体看来，执行过程可能存在缺陷或欠缺。这些复杂的情况为过渡时期司法领域提出了关键问题，特别是关于受害者的期望以及在敌对环境中提供真相、正义和赔偿的可行性。本文以哥伦比亚西北部urab地区为例，认为持续的暴力环境对受害者、肇事者和其他关键行动者在过渡时期司法进程中有意义和有效参与的可能性产生了直接的不利影响。因此，这种受限制的参与引发了“多米诺骨牌效应”，对其他过渡目标产生了负面影响，包括在日本经济伙伴关系的具体情况下，其恢复目标。

ABSTRACT∞ This article explores the potential for truth-telling and healing created by the recently announced National Resting Place for Indigenous Ancestral Remains in Australia. The return of Indigenous Ancestral Remains provides the opportunity to make redress for past wrongs, and to reflect on the attitudes which informed the dehumanizing practices of their past collection and display. Indigenous Ancestral Remains are critical to truth-telling in Australia as by their very existence and materiality they disrupt colonial narratives about terra nullius. However, human remains are also a powerful reminder of the limits of human rights processes. We consider the potential of the National Resting Place as a new Australian site of truth and memory to disrupt the traditional ‘museum’ model and to restore the dignity and respect owing to previously objectified human remains.

International reports by human rights organizations coincide that the government of Dina Boluarte in Peru has responded to social mobilization with disproportionate actions by public forces. Whereas recent scholarship explains the rising authoritarianism in the country to the weakness of political actors, this article provides a different interpretation by focusing on the political and economic legacies of the authoritarian government of Alberto Fujimori (1990–2000). Post-Fujimori governments have been unable to complete a double transition: a transition to consolidate democracy and a transition to advance towards a postconflict society. Rather, they have empowered economic elites and have deepened stigmatization and repression of social mobilization. To understand current authoritarianism, it is important to identify where concrete power resides and how state practices respond to the influence and needs of powerful actors.
