What notions of justice inform the scope and nature of official inquiries into harms and the responsiveness of governments to their findings and recommendations? Why, despite legal and public recognition of claims of injustice, does harm so often continue? This introduction to the Special Issue &lsquo;Moving On&rsquo;? Official Responses to Mass Harm and the Question of Justice critically reflects on the hypothesis that official responses to claims of injustice that focus on &lsquo;moving on&rsquo; risk ignoring, or precluding, the structural causes and legacies of personal suffering and suggests an interdisciplinary framework within which to analyse the effectiveness of official responses to mass harm as mechanisms of justice.</p> <hr /><p>&iquest;C&oacute;mo se formulan, invocan y confrontan las demandas de justicia en relaci&oacute;n con los informes de sufrimiento humano colectivo? &iquest;Qu&eacute; nociones de justicia dan cuenta del alcance y la naturaleza de las investigaciones oficiales de da&ntilde;os y la capacidad de respuesta de los gobiernos ante las conclusiones y recomendaciones? &iquest;Por qu&eacute; contin&uacute;a tantas veces el da&ntilde;o, a pesar del reconocimiento legal y p&uacute;blico de las denuncias de injusticias? Esta introducci&oacute;n al n&uacute;mero especial 'Moving On'? Official Responses to Mass Harm and the Question of Justice hace una reflexi&oacute;n cr&iacute;tica sobre la hip&oacute;tesis de que las respuestas oficiales a las denuncias de injusticias que se centran en "avanzar" corren el riesgo de ignorar, o excluir, las causas estructurales y los legados de sufrimiento personal y sugiere un marco interdisciplinario en el que analizar la eficacia de las respuestas oficiales a los da&ntilde;os masivos como mecanismos de justicia.</p> <p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="https://ssrn.com/abstract=2977205" target="_blank">https://ssrn.com/abstract=2977205</a></p> ER -
