项目摘要

The project will advance knowledge on the structure and functioning of networks formed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and prosecutorial agencies in criminal proceedings under universal jurisdiction (UJ). It will further show how these networks affect justice, court narratives, and public knowledge about massive violations of human rights. NGO-prosecutorial networks affect trials and knowledge about violations in two ways. They color charges and court proceedings by channeling evidence, witnesses, and private prosecutors—some constituted out of refugee populations—into trials. In addition, NGOs contribute to the spread of contextualized court narratives through trial observation and the publication of blogs and reports on websites. The nature of these causal processes will be explored. American interest in these experiences is substantial, especially considering the “Justice for Victims of War Crimes Act” that recently updated federal law to enable prosecution of alleged war criminals in the United States—regardless of the place of perpetration and the nationality of the perpetrator or the victim. During this project, graduate students will be trained, and knowledge gained will be incorporated into college and graduate instruction. Insights will be communicated through a public-facing paper, workshops with practitioners, and a symposium.The project builds on scholarship that examines how criminal trials shape knowledge about and collective memory of mass atrocity crimes. This body of research shows that trials often affect public perceptions and collective memories of such crimes, even while constrained by the institutional logic of criminal law with its focus on individuals, disinterest in structural contexts and the longue durée, limiting evidentiary rules, and guilty-not guilty binaries. The proposed research looks beyond the confines of judicial institutions to examine their network ties with civil society in the form of NGOs, domestically and across national boundaries: a transnational NGO-prosecutorial complex. The project will enhance knowledge at the intersection of the sociology of law, knowledge, collective memory, and inter-organizational networks. The research includes in-depth interviews with prosecutors, investigators, and NGO representatives, in several countries engaging in UJ proceedings. Interviews explore organizational goals, the structure of exchange networks between organizations and the content of exchanges. An analysis of court documents will trace how NGO agendas, input, and networks are reflected in trial narratives. Analyzing NGO blogs and reports will identify additional network ties and examine the transmission of court narratives to the public. The project will add to sociology of knowledge insights into the link between network structures and the production of legal truths and everyday knowledgeThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目将增进对非政府组织和检察机构在普遍管辖权下的刑事诉讼中形成的网络的结构和运作的了解。它将进一步展示这些网络如何影响司法、法庭陈述和公众对大规模侵犯人权行为的了解。非政府组织检察网络以两种方式影响审判和对侵权行为的了解。他们通过将证据、证人和私人检察官(有些是由难民人口组成的)引入审判,给指控和法庭诉讼程序增色不少。此外,非政府组织还通过审判观察和在网站上发表博客和报告,为传播有背景的法庭陈述作出贡献。这些因果过程的性质将被探讨。美国对这些经验的兴趣是巨大的,特别是考虑到“为战争罪行受害者伸张正义法”,该法案最近更新了联邦法律,使被指控的战争罪犯能够在美国受到起诉--无论犯罪地点和犯罪者或受害者的国籍如何。在该项目期间,将培训研究生,并将所获得的知识纳入大学和研究生教学。洞察力将通过面向公众的文件,与从业人员的研讨会和研讨会进行交流。该项目建立在奖学金的基础上,研究刑事审判如何塑造关于大规模暴行罪的知识和集体记忆。这些研究表明,审判往往会影响公众对此类罪行的看法和集体记忆,即使受到刑法制度逻辑的限制,其重点是个人,对结构背景和漫长的审判期不感兴趣,限制证据规则,以及有罪-无罪二进制。拟议的研究超越了司法机构的范围,审查它们与国内和跨国界非政府组织形式的民间社会的网络联系:一个跨国非政府组织-检察机构联合体。该项目将加强法律社会学、知识、集体记忆和组织间网络交叉点的知识。该研究包括与参与司法机关诉讼的几个国家的检察官、调查人员和非政府组织代表进行深入访谈。访谈探索组织目标、组织间交流网络的结构和交流的内容。对法庭文件的分析将追踪非政府组织的议程、投入和网络如何反映在审判叙述中。通过分析非政府组织的博客和报告,将发现更多的网络联系,并审查向公众传播法庭陈述的情况。该项目将增加知识社会学的见解网络结构之间的联系和生产的法律的真理和日常知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
