Mobilizing Voice: Truth and Justice in the Balkans

Description
The talk addresses the failed effort to create a regional truth commission to address mass violence in the Balkans from 1991-2001. The effort, spearheaded by an NGO in Serbia, along with colleagues in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, was lauded by the international community for its ambition, yet drew disdain from those most affected by the conflict. The study draws on data collected over a two year period, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also in Serbia and Croatia, and reveals the problematic popularity of truth commissions. It also points out how the process through which it was promoted fostered expectations that were impossible to fulfill.
