Intergenerational Justice in Post-colonial Settings: Can Procedures Tame Memories Related to Mass Atrocities?

Intergenerational Justice in Post-colonial Settings: Can Procedures Tame Memories Related to Mass Atrocities?

Do parties handle conflicting justice notions when they negotiate about colonial past legacy? This question is at the core of an increasing number of judiciary and non-judiciary processes around the world. From Paris to Canberra, London, Ottawa, Berlin, Washington or Wellington, official representatives face divergent, if not incompatible, expectations regarding the most appropriate way to cope with historical grievances. The presentation will focus on one in-depth empirical case study, namely the Belgian case.
