I have just put a link to The TJnetwork archives into the portal for "Newsfeeds" on the left sidebar here. (Users may need to undertake the simple registration process there.) As most TJF readers probably already know, Victoria Baxter of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (not to be confused with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences) has been maintaining that archive of transitional justice-related documents and news items since late 2002.
She adds bundles of items to the archive on a nearly weekly basis. Many of these are news roundups, that she compiles and posts herself.
What a great service to the rest of us!
In the most recent news roundup that she posted to the archive, Victoria includes the following news items:
* Afghanistan: Universal Jurisdiction Case Heard in Dutch CourtI do wish, though, that the archive there had some decent search tools to help researchers use the large and valuable archive that Victoria and her colleagues have built up. (Or am I missing something?) After all, even no-cost blogging software like this Movable Type that we're using here has a simple but powerful internal search function...
* Algeria: Vote Held on Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation
* Armenia: Seminar on Armenian Genocide Held Despite Cancellation by Turkish Court
* Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bodies from Srebrenica Massacre Exhumed in Liplje
* Chile: Doctors to Determine Pinochet's Fitness to Stand Trial
* Mexico: Judge Rejects Echeverria Arrest Order
* Rwanda: Trial of Cabinet Ministers Begins
* Uganda: LRA Deputy Leader Reportedly in DRC
I'm thinking maybe we could synergize the two projects if I just post the headlines to the main items on TJN over here on TJF every week or so... People can thereafter use the "Search" function here to find all the items on, say, "Pinochet", "Srebenica", or whatever, and then click through the posting here to the relevant portion of the TJN archive...
Probably not optimal over the long haul, but maybe mildly helpful all round for now?
