摘要

法医科学和医学在人类身份鉴定中发挥着关键作用,其基本前提是“真相”可以通过经验和客观地获得。本章探讨了在东帝汶进行的挖掘和鉴定的一些方法,并讨论了与科学理性和“法医真相”构建概念相关的一些复杂性。在东帝汶,根据遗骨确定个人身份的困难是在大量失踪人员、24年期间在多个地点发生暴行以及当地法医能力有限的情况下讨论的。此外,还根据不同的“真理”概念讨论了理解身份认同过程的方式,突出了其中的政治、社会和伦理复杂性。

Working for the Living and the Dead
Forensic science and medicine play a critical role in human identification, with the underlying premise being that ‘the truth’ can be empirically and objectively obtained. This chapter explores some of the approaches to exhumation and identification undertaken in Timor-Leste and discusses some of the complexities associated with scientific reason and the notion of the construction of ‘forensic truth’. The difficulty of establishing personal identification from skeletal remains in Timor-Leste is discussed in the context of large numbers of missing persons, the fact that atrocities took place in multiple locations over a 24-year period, and the fact that there is limited local forensic capacity. In addition, the ways in which the process of identification is understood is discussed in light of different notions of ‘truth’, highlighting the political, social, and ethical complexities at play.
