New Episode of Memory Cultures in Dialogue: „Reconciliation through RECOM“ (in BCS)

New Episode of Memory Cultures in Dialogue: „Reconciliation through RECOM“ (in BCS)

Kulture sećanja - Audio - Story - 1The initiative to establish the Regional Commission for Establishing the Facts about War Crimes and Other Serious Human Rights Violations in the former Yugoslavia (RECOM) attracted significant attention from both domestic and international audiences. Among the various initiatives for truth-seeking and justice, the RECOM initiative stood out due to its originality and sustainability.

Denisa Kostovicova’s new book, Reconciliation by Stealth: How People Talk about War Crimes, analyzes the consultations initiated by civil society activists between 2006 and 2011. These consultations aimed to define the nature and scope of the regional truth commission and culminated in the drafting and adoption of the RECOM Statute. Although states have since withdrawn support for a regional approach to dealing with the legacy of a shared past, RECOM Reconciliation Network research projects continue.
