Post-transitional Justice
Latin America is still dealing with the legacy of terror and torture from its authoritarian past. In the years after the restoration of democratic governments in countries where violations of human rights were most rampant, the efforts to hold former government officials accountable were mainly conducted at the level of the state, through publicly appointed truth commissions and other such devices. This stage of “transitional justice” has been carefully and exhaustively studied. But as this first wave of efforts died down, with many still left unsatisfied that justice had been rendered, a new approach began to take over. In Post-transitional Justice, Cath Collins examines the distinctive nature of this approach, which combines evolving legal strategies by private actors with changes in domestic judicial systems. Collins presents both a theoretical framework and a finely detailed investigation of how this has played out in two countries, Chile and El Salvador. Drawing on more than three hundred interviews, Collins analyzes the reasons why the process achieved relative success in Chile but did not in El Salvador.

International Criminal Law, Transnational Criminal Organizations and Transitional Justice
Parties negotiating the end of authoritarian regimes or armed conflicts are almost inevitably left in a situation of legal uncertainty. Despite their overlapping scope of application, the differences between the approaches of International Criminal Law (ICL) and Transitional Justice (TJ) are so profound that, unless dogmatisms are left aside and a process of dialogue is entered into, it will not be possible to harmonize the current legal regime of international crimes with the need to articulate transitional processes that are capable of effectively overcoming authoritarian regimes and armed conflicts. The serious material limitations shown by national, international and hybrid ICL enforcement mechanisms should be acknowledged and the goals pursued by ICL should be redefined accordingly. A minimum level of consensus on the scope of application, goals and elements of TJ should also be reached. Situations of systematic or large scale violence against the civilian population by transnational criminal organizations increase the challenge.
En lucha con el pasado
En lucha con el pasado busca elucidar la manera en que la sociedad argentina otorgó sentido al período de la dictadura militar a partir de 1983 y hasta 2006, haciendo para ello un análisis histórico de las luchas y los dilemas surgidos en ese período. La investigación está organizada en torno a dos líneas principales: la primera orientada a analizar los actores que procuraron mantener el pasado en la agenda pública, los "agentes de memoria". La segunda se ocupa de la manera en que estos "agentes de memoria" interactuaron con su entorno social y político, cómo fueron influenciados por éste y cómo, a su vez, lograron transformarlo.

Que digan dónde están
Desde mediados de la década de 1970 se constituyó en Argentina un movimiento de derechos humanos que asumió una identidad separada de otros agentes políticos y sociales. En su despliegue temporal, se erigió en ejemplo de resistencia contra el terrorismo estatal y de reclamo por la memoria, verdad y justicia respecto de los crímenes de lesa humanidad. Pero, lejos de ser homogéneo, su desarrollo registró secuencias sincopadas, diferentes grados de integración simbólica y profundas variaciones regionales. "Que digan dónde están". Una historia de los derechos humanos en Argentina ofrece una interpretación de la emergencia y del auge de este movimiento, proponiendo alternativas teór...
