Just fatherlands? From Kristallnacht to Katyn.

Lyons, Carole

Abstract

This working paper contribution addresses the lack of formal recognition of the Holocaust and institutionalised killing in the European Convention on Human Rights. It focuses on three themes: 1) historical justice and the role of the courts; 2) memory mediated through the judicial route; and 3) the specific legacy of Auschwitz in Europe and the human rights response.
