{"title":"Forever Prisoners: How the United States Made the World’s Largest Immigration Detention System by Elliott Young (review)","authors":"Tokunbo Okanla","doi":"10.1353/hrq.2023.0008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hrq.2023.0008","url":null,"abstract":"separatists organized a referendum on independence that Spain’s Constitutional Tribunal had already declared illegal. In response to the illegal referendum, the conservative administration of Mariano Rajoy rescinded Catalonia’s home rule charter. Sánchez inherited the crisis from Rajoy, whose heavy-handed approach only served to exacerbate the crisis, and skillfully used Franco’s exhumation to signal a new, conciliatory tone in the relations between Madrid and the Catalans. By exploring the work of organizations such as ARMH and unpacking the politics of Franco’s exhumation, Iturriaga and Faber have made a valuable contribution to the scholarship on the politics of memory in contemporary Spain. Taken together, these works highlight the titanic role of human rights organizations and activists in pressing politicians to take action on so many issues related to the past that were conveniently swept under the rug during the democratic transition. Spain’s democratic transformation, often described by democratization scholars as “a miracle,”7 is owed in no small measure to the willingness of victims of political violence to put their demands for recognition on hold until democratic institutions and practices were fully consolidated. But the books by Iturriaga and Faber also contribute valuable insights into the global politics of coming to terms with the past that often go unnoticed or ignored. Above all, perhaps, they reveal the national peculiarities of reckoning with a dark and difficult history. Despite attempts by the human rights community to depict the process of coming to terms with the past as a universal experience primarily intended to seek justice and accountability, the reality on the ground often looks strikingly different. For a whole host of reasons—including Franco’s cynical manipulation of history for partisan purposes and the deliberate repression of the memory of the past during the democratic transition—coming to terms with the past in Spain is less about seeking justice and accountability than it is about recovering and reconstructing history. This peculiarity about Spain does not make the country’s coming to terms with the past any less interesting or worthwhile.","PeriodicalId":47589,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42484946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While much scholarship has been stimulated by such anniversaries, little has considered anniversary noting as an activity in its own right. The present article addresses this. Examining United Nations and scholarly materials on selected anniversaries from the mid-twentieth century to the present, it does so by thinking about time. Analysis of these materials reveals that international human rights anniversary work is characterized by an active relationship to time, rather than marking calendar time alone. This analysis stimulates a more reflective apprehension of anniversary noting as an important yet under-considered activity in this area of law and, in turn, enhances understandings of international human rights law and its operation.","PeriodicalId":47589,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48955366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Normalizing much of Trump’s China policy, President Biden has framed contest with China as a defining fight between authoritarianism and democracy. Current high tensions between the two nations cannot be understood without a nuanced understanding of the human rights dimension. US-China relations are constituted socially, and human rights are a big part of that process although its relative importance varies over time and issues. The Trump administration’s success shows that cynical policy entrepreneurs may counterintuitively contribute to social construction of human rights norms by joining hands with norm believers to form a movement to redirect a bilateral relationship.","PeriodicalId":47589,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43145016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Cain and Abel story is as complex as the story of enforced disappearances. Unpacking enforced disappearances while considering the biblical story allows for fresh readings of the binary approach to victims and perpetrators, challenges the conception of bystanders, and questions the traditional understanding of accountability limited to criminal responses. It also allows for thinking critically about memory, the effectiveness of the international response to enforced disappearances, and the inter-generational effect of disappearances.","PeriodicalId":47589,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48575024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strikingly, although civil society organizations continue to sprout across the length and breadth of the country, many of them dedicated to partnering with the government on its war against the menace posed by trafficking, the situation on the ground remains grimly unchanged. More women wind up being trafficked each year than the previous one, even as the brazenness and callousness of the traffickers assume a new, more intensely ferocious dimension. This is an unwholesome situation, considering that Nigeria is the “trafficking capital” of Africa, and raises several questions, three of which are profoundly critical. Why have strategies adopted to combat women trafficking failed? What can be done to reverse the situation? Is there any specific role for human rights in the process? Responding to these questions is the burden of this article.","PeriodicalId":47589,"journal":{"name":"Human Rights Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48546237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
