The volume attempts to reframe debates, moving beyond the limited approaches of 'truth versus justice' or 'stability versus accountability' in which many of these issues have been cast in the existing scholarship. The theoretical and empirical contributions in this book offer new ways of understanding and tackling the enduring persistence of amnesty in the age of accountability. In addition to cross-national studies, the volume encompasses eleven country cases of amnesty for past human rights violations: Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Uganda and Uruguay. The volume goes beyond merely describing these case studies, but also considers what we learn from them in terms of overcoming impunity and promoting accountability to contribute to improvements in human rights and democracy. 0aAmnesty 0aHuman rights 0aLiability (Law)1 aLessa, Francesca,eeditor of compilation.1 aPayne, Leigh A.,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z978110702500440uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139177153zCambridge Books Online  c236371d236371
