Publicación Beyond the Binary: Securing Peace and Promoting Justice after ConflictNelson Camilo Sánchez León; Rodrigo Uprimny Yepes; Howard Varney; Michael Schwarz; Tatiana Rincón-Covelli; Claudio Nash Rojas; Tara Van Ho; Oscar Parra VeraThe main objective of Beyond the Binary is to place on record the need to formulate answers to the question of the role that criminal action and punishment should play in negotiated political transitions from war to peace. Discussions on the meaning and scope of concepts such as justice, accountability, and victim satisfaction continue to be fervent topics in specialized circles of what is now known as “the transitional justice field,” and in societies suffering from mass violence. Instead of solving the practical and theoretical dilemmas of these interpretative disputes, the experience and knowledge accumulated over the more than three decades that this field has been in existence have served only to deepen the debates and to adapt more of these discussions to new and constantly-changing scenarios and contexts. The main objective of Beyond the Binary is to place on record the need to formulate answers to the question of the role that criminal action and punishment should play in negotiated political transitions from war to peace. There are two reasons for our making this observation. On one hand, given the institutional, legal, and political challenges facing societies that nowadays attempt to take this step, there is a need for the issue to be analyzed. On the other hand, the conclusion reached from an initial analysis is that the academic and practical discussion seems to be trapped into a polarizing discussion between those who defend a legal interpretation of the duty to investigate, prosecute, and punish, which appears to threaten the possibility of achieving negotiated transitions, and those who, in order to prevent that risk, deny or resent the existence or consolidation of such a principle. The central purpose of this book is to initiate a conversation on how to resolve difficult dilemmas. We appreciate that some of the proposals may come across as controversial, but what we are looking for is, precisely, to open up the possibility of thinking in innovative ways about how to confront these challenges. Una discusión similar se da en el libro Justicia para la paz: Crímenes atroces, derecho a la justicia y paz negociada, en español.Publicación Justice through Transitions: Conflict, Peacemaking and Human Rights in the Global SouthCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Dir.); Meghan L. Morris (Dir.)What does justice mean in times of transition? What kinds of possibilities and dissapointments emerge from processes of seeking justice through transition? How might we understand these processes through narrative? In August 2015, a group of Global South human rights activists and researchers gathered in Colombia for a workshop organized around the theme of transitional justice. This book, the third in a series, is the result of the discussions performed in that encounter. The chapters in this volume illustrate many complexities of transitional justice processes from the perspective of young human rights advocates involved in these struggles, many with their own complicated personal connections to the search for justice. These advocates hail from countries that have divergent relationships with the notion of transitional justice, from places deeply embedded in its norms and processes, such as Argentina and Colombia, to countries undergoing various kinds of transitions on very different terms, such as Turkey and Mexico. All of the chapters, however, write the messiness of seeking justice through transitions, spanning from the personal and intimate to the national and global. Together, these chapters beautifully illustrate both the pain and the political possibilities that come from the inability to leave history in the past, as well as the creativity of individual and collective efforts to seek justice through transitions. They also demonstrate the beauty of speaking, working, and writing justice from the hearPublicación Transnational Advocacy Networks. Twenty Years of Evolving Theory and PracticePeter Evans (Ed.); César Rodríguez Garavito (Ed.)Activists, particularly those based in the global South, have accumulated a wealth of experience in dealing with a range of transnational networks operating in diverse issue areas. New theoretical understandings have reflected this accumulating experience. As the twentieth century came to a close, the practice of global and transnational politics was undergoing a sea change. Understandings of its dynamics were changing along with the practice. Classic paradigms of international relations, which had focused almost exclusively on relations among nation-states, were being expanded to consider the impact of transnational civil society organizations. Recognition of the role of new nonstate actors in global politics was epitomized by the impact of Margaret Keck and Kathryn Sikkink’s Activists beyond Borders in 1998. Their framework is a foundational reference point for the analyses of recent and future trends that are set out in this book. This volume brings together a set of ten essays by reflective activists who draw on their experience to provide new insights into what has been happening in the world of transnational advocacy, and by engaged academics who are committed to using the tools of their disciplines to contribute to the same agenda. The essays reflect not only the views of individual authors but also the collective dialogue among the authors at the workshop where the papers were originally presented in the spring of 2015.Publicación Razones para la esperanza La legitimidad y efectividad de los derechos humanos de cara al futuroKathryn SikkinkLa autora escribe este libro para personas que ocupan las primeras filas del trabajo de derechos humanos y que dicen que han perdido la esperanza. También para los defensores de estos derechos. En este libro la autora explica por qué cree que de la larga historia de los derechos humanos se rescata un mensaje más positivo que puede ayudar a sostenerlos en el contexto de sus luchas actuales.Publicación Hacer justicia en tiempos de transiciónCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Coord.); Meghan L. Morris (Coord.)En agosto de 2015, un grupo de activistas e investigadores del Sur Global se reunieron en Colombia para realizar un taller sobre justicia transicional. Este libro, el tercero de una serie, es el resultado de las discusiones realizadas en ese evento.Publicación Empresas y derechos humanos en el Siglo XXICésar Rodríguez Garavito (Ed.)Este libro es el resultado de varios años de trabajo colectivo, no sólo de los autores de los diferentes capítulos, sino también de tres instituciones y grupos de personas que hicieron posible el proyecto de investigación-acción que terminó plasmado en este volumen. El Centro de Estudios de Derecho, Justicia y Sociedad (Dejusticia), una organización de investigación y defensa de los derechos humanos, con sede en Bogotá, fue el núcleo base del proyecto y proporcionó gran parte de la energía intelectual y organizativa necesaria para el libro.Publicación Encarar el desafío populista. Un nuevo manual de estrategias para actores de derechos humanosCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Ed.); Krizna Gómez (Ed.)Una nueva guía para actores de derechos humanos. Este libro recopila y analiza un repertorio de respuestas de organizaciones de derechos humanos a la represión contra la sociedad civil en el contexto populista. Escrito por académicos y defensores que trabajan en entornos políticos desafiantes en todo el mundo, este libro ofrece ideas e inspiración para los activistas de derechos humanos que luchan y resisten la erosión de la democracia y los derechos. Esta colección busca facilitar la transformación de la sociedad civil de dos formas: En primer lugar, identifica los desafíos específicos que los regímenes y movimientos populistas contemporáneos crean para los derechos humanos. ¿Cuáles son las estrategias de los populistas contra los derechos humanos? En segundo lugar, contribuye a documentar y aprender de una variedad de iniciativas lideradas por diferentes defensores de derechos humanos. ¿Qué innovaciones están integrando los actores de derechos humanos en sus estrategias y narrativas para contrarrestar las de los regímenes populistas? En resumen, ¿cuál es el manual o las estrategias de derechos humanos contra el populismo? Desde una documentación detallada sobre abusos en Turquía a formas más populares de redes sociales en Hungría, desde caravanas de paz en la India hasta nuevas formas para tener impacto bajo las dictaduras del siglo XXI en Venezuela, como corresponsales de guerra informando desde las trincheras, nuestros autores comparten sus propias luchas continuas para ayudar a sus comunidades. Con base en la evidencia de gobiernos populistas en India, Venezuela, Hungría, Turquía, Rusia, Estados Unidos y Ecuador, así como enérgicas medidas contra la sociedad civil en Sudáfrica, Egipto y otros países, este volumen brinda esperanza, solidaridad y revitalización para el movimiento de derechos humanos.Publicación Rising to the Populist Challenge: A new Playbook for Human Rights ActorsCésar Rodríguez Garavito (Ed.); Krizna Gómez (Ed.)This book collects and analyzes a repertoire of responses by human rights organizations to the crackdown against civil society in the populist context. Written by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights. This collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short, what is the human rights playbook against populism? From meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities. Based on evidence from populist governments in India, Venezuela, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, the United States, and Ecuador—as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa, Egypt and other countries—this volume provides hope, solidarity, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.
