Impunity Watch Research Brief: Memorialisation in Cambodia

07/05/2012 - Research Brief: ‘Pacifying vindictiveness by not being vindictive’: Reflections on how Cambodians are dealing with impunity and their conflictive past

As part of Impunity Watch’s Perspectives Programme research into memorialisation after violence, the latest IW Research Brief provides an overview of memorialisation in Cambodia. The Research Brief concisely details the manner in which memory operates and has been manipulated in Cambodia, particularly since memorialisation is both extremely under-researched and a particularly new practice for dealing with the past in the country.

 

The research forms part of Impunity Watch’s wider comparative research into memorialisation examining memory initiatives in Burundi, Cambodia, Guatemala, Bosnia and Herzegovina and South Africa. The research analyses the links between various types of memory initiatives and truth, justice, reparations and the non-recurrence of violence.

 

The full Research Report from Cambodia and a Comparative Analysis of this research will be available as of June 2012.
