What is more, in spite of its modest scope, this set of documentaries issued after the complete destruction of the film industry under the Khmer Rouge comes to epitomize what is unimaginable in any other film production dealing with mass murder. In contrast to the 20th century pattern modelled on the Holocaust and revolving around survivor testimonies and victim trauma,2 more recent approaches have reframed genocide studies in relation to other cases and concerns. These, although of course heterogeneous, have determined a shift in perspective on account of a series of historical developments: the establishment of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in the wake of South Africa’s TRC, which resignified the notions of justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation; the constitution of the International Criminal Court and its first trials (ICTY and ICTR); as well as the introduction – certainly controversial – of colonial crimes into the genocidal agenda, in particular the extermination of indigenous peoples and slavery.

This article focuses on the types of state-backed paramilitary groups that became perpetrators of violence against civilians during the 1980s and 90s in the war between the Turkish state and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Partiya Karkeren Kurdistane, PKK). The Turkish ruling elite formed paramilitary groups in support of the official security forces in the local area (in northern Kurdistan). The article examines the reasons for the formation of these paramilitary groups but mainly focuses on their types and it examines the ideological and ethnic backgrounds of the members of these groups, their roles and transformations in conflicts, and the types of violence they implemented. The article also aims to make a contribution to the literature by discussing the relationship between state-paramilitary groups through four different paramilitary groups.","PeriodicalId":152877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Perpetrator Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121273033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
