“…On one hand, artistic expressions can contribute, among other things, to the preservation of memory, the mourning of victims and the development of empathy among civil society, victims and perpetrators. Thus, art can shine a light on marginalised people, demand accountability or enhance the possibilities of peace and reconciliation (Rush 2014; Ramírez-Barat 2020; Cohen 2020).…”

Rap, as with other musical genres, can contain narratives about Colombia's armed conflict. Members of armed groups, such as the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (‘Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army’; FARC-EP), and civilians have used rap as a means of expressing war-related issues and their causes and consequences. Following the signing of the peace agreement with the FARC-EP in 2016, Colombia's new transitional justice system mainly has focused on a restorative rationale rather than a retributive one. Transitional justice, as a set of mechanisms and processes designed to overcome a violent past, demands peace-building narratives that protect the memory of past horrors while setting the stage for reconciliation. This article analyses the interplay of transitional justice and rap from the personal experiences, perspectives and lyrics of two former combatants and two groups from civil society that rap based in Bogotá, other cities and rural municipalities. These cases provide insight into how rap can relate to transitional justice, sometimes acting as a supportive tool for its goals and sometimes by providing a counter-narrative.

“…Secondly, and despite funding difficulties from the outset, 10 the Victims’ Support Section and, later also the Public Affairs Sections (PAS) of the ECCC 11 were to engage in outreach activities to inform the general public about the court. This was supposed to “build direct channels of communication with affected communities, in order to raise awareness of the justice process and promote understanding of the measure” (Ramírez-Barat, 2011: 7). In practice, and in keeping with Sikkink's cascade metaphor, it meant a mono-directional flow of ideas from the source of universals downwards to the target communities.…”

Outsourcing Outreach: ‘Counter-translation’ of Outreach Activities at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia

This article examines the outreach activities of the ongoing trials in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). The ECCC was designed to hold the leaders of Cambodia's notoriously violent Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979) accountable. Outreach programmes have now become part of transitional justice initiatives as means to anchor their work in local and national consciousness in target countries. Using ethnographic data gathered in 2019–2020, this article explores how outreach activities have changed over time as they have become subject to new influences. I focus in particular on how some local actors have begun appropriating them in ways that represent a ‘counter-translation’ of the intentions originally propagated by the architects of the ECCC.

“…The ICTJ, once thought of as the most sophisticated advocate for a legalistic approach to transitional justice by religious scholars such as Philpott, was beginning to support restorative measures as part of an expanded notion of transitional justice. By 2014 ICTJ published a collection of essays, Transitional Justice, Culture, and Society: Beyond Outreach, stressing the indispensable role of education, theater, photography, and public media as complementary mechanisms for achieving the goals of transitional justice (Ramirez-Barat 2014).…”

The Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics provides readers with insight into the central questions of development ethics, the main approaches to answering them, and areas for future research. Over the past seventy years, it has been argued and increasingly accepted that worthwhile development cannot be reduced to economic growth. Rather, a number of other goals must be realised:• Enhancement of people's well-being • Equitable sharing in benefits of development • Empowerment to participate freely in development • Environmental sustainability • Promotion of human rights • Promotion of cultural freedom, consistent with human rights • Responsible conduct, including integrity over corruption Agreement that these are essential goals has also been accompanied by disagreements about how to conceptualize or apply them in different cases or contexts. Using these seven goals as an organizing principle, this Handbook presents different approaches to achieving each one, drawing on academic literature, policy documents and practitioner experience.This international and multidisciplinary Handbook will be of great interest to development policymakers and program workers, and students and scholars in development studies, public policy, international studies, applied ethics and other related disciplines.
